HELP: attributes saved in session got lost

Question

Hi, All:
We have the following architecture:
Client IE Browser Verison 6.0. --> Gateway
--> Portal Server 6.0
--> Sun One Web Server 6.0
We have Portal server (http://portalURL) and Web Server (http://webserverURL) behind one Gateway (https://gatewayURL).
One application is deployed on Sun One Web Server.
After user login to Gateway/portal, user gets the default portal page https://gatewayURL/http://portalURL/defaultpage.jsp, the user then is redirected to A.jsp in Sun One Web Server https://gatewayURL/http://webserverURL/xyz/A.jsp.
A.jsp saves variables in the session using:
session.setAttribute("CLIENT_ID", "5" );
Right after that, the user access the B.jsp in the Sun One Web Server by
https://gatewayURL/http://webserverURL/xyz/B.jsp
B.jsp tries to retrieve the varialble stored by A.jsp using:
String clientId = (String)session.getAttribute("CLIENT_ID");
But it fails, the clientId is null.
What we find is that somehow a new HttpSession is created for every new request from same browser session, so A.jsp and B.jsp have different session.
We are losing all the session attributes saved in the previous requests.
however, there is no such problem with with Mozilla 1.7a - variables saved in session in A.jsp can be retrieved by B.jsp.
Thanks.
