Looking for an expert on session tracking

I've got some session code running on RH linux using Apache and Tomcat. About 7% of my users experience a session variable not being present after a <jsp:forward> (or sendRedirect). I was thinking that it was related to cookies and how sessions are tracked, but I am using both the default cookie session tracking as well as URL re-writing; when I turn my browser's cookies off, I start seeing the jsessionid being used and everything still seems to work ok.
Is there anyone out there who might be willing to help me figure this pup out...why 7% of my users can't be tracked (session.getAttribute() doesn't find something that was placed into the session directly before the redirect/forward)?

OK, I've done a bunch of debugging. It appears all the folks who experience a "loss of session" have a URL with no parameters...even though I now parameters where passed.
Also, in some cases, the new URL that is being visited is accessed via either a <jsp:forward> or javascript's window.open.
Anyone know why some browsers might not pass parameters?

  • I'm looking for an example of Session Time Warning dialog

    I'm looking for an example of a Session Timeout warning dialog to warn a user that their session is about to expire.  I'd really like it to have the option to extend the session or logout.
    I have a user submitted Webapp with several fields and an image upload.  The image upload is for a copy of a professional state license.  When the user gets to this field in the form, they realize that they have to scan their form first.  They leave the Webapp Input form open, get their image uploaded finally, submit the form, then they get a message that they are no longer logged in. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    If your doing work on the front end like this and you feel the form is to long or things like file upload takes too long then build a multi-step form process and have the image as one of the latter steps so you can start saving the data.

  • Looking for an application to keep track of things

    Again, forgive me, for I am new to the BB world.
    I have a Palm Zire that I use to keep track of, among other things, all the books I've read - nothing worse that buying a book for the second or third time!  I use the Palm desktop contacts list, filter by "Books", the by author keep track of the titles in the note field.
    Can anyone recommend a BB application to keep track of this for me.  One of the reasons I got this phone was so I wouldn't to carry my PDA and phone with me when shopping.
    Thanks a million

    Hi there!
    For me, I use contact items...I have a whole batch of them that start with "Note" and contain tons of things. One is my weekly shopping list. Another is a list of gift ideas for folks. And many many other things. I like using Contacts as I can not only search them, but they replicate to my desktop PIM (for me, via BES/Exchange) and I can even edit them in my PIM and they wind up on my BB. Handy, IMHO!
    Hope that helps!

  • A tough one for EJB experts - Stateless session bean spec question

    I am busy learning more about EJBs and came across something confusing regarding the legal operations in the various container callback methods for stateless session beans.
    Specifically, the EJB spec states that in the ejbCreate() method, the SessionContext can be used to obtain a reference to the EJB Object. Now this makes perfect sense with stateful session beans, since the ejbCreate() method isn't called until a client is creating a bean and the container has linked that bean to the client's EJB Object. However, it is my understanding that when it comes to stateless session beans, the container creates the beans and adds them to the bean pool at its leisure. It is not until a business method is called by a client that a stateless bean is actually linked to an EJB object. So, how is it that a stateless bean could ever obtain a reference to an EJB Object from within ejbCreate(). Which EJB Object would it be linked to? This operation just doesn't appear to make sense in that context.
    Can anyone clarify this for me?

    Interesting question. I have such questions all the time! Here's a link to a similar discussion
    http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=70&t=000905
    Also, I tried this using Weblogic 8.1. Tried to access the EJBObject in ejbCreate before any business method was invoked. I did this by specifying a value for initial-beans-in-free-pool and found that the hash code for the EJBObject was the same for all the bean instances that were created on startup.
    I then invoked a business method and accessed the EJBObject in that method. Again the hash code for the object was the same as the one created on startup.
    Seemed to be that there is a 1:n relation between the EJBObject and bean instances.
    This may be container specific. The spec says the user should be able to invoke the getEJBObject() method in ejbCreate(), its upto the container to comply with it.

  • Looking for an expert on iCal Push

    Push notification is working fine on all my iOS and Mac client computers. iCal Push is however not working. Insstead of an upgrade install of LS I installed fresh on a new MacMini. I went the hard route by adding all Network Users, transfered their mail data and calendars which proved to take many long hours. All Wiki's and Web services are working correctly. The only thing that seems to be broken is the iCal Push notification server.
    I have tried everything I know short of reinstalling and starting over again. If anyone can send some suggestions my way or some code to try in the Terminal, I will be very greatful. Here is the main error message I am receiving.
    push_notify[11877]: discarding message; not connected to notification server

    Clean install of LS fixed this problem. Only wish I knew what started it. Sorry I couldn't find any easier answers but glad it now works.

  • I am looking for an iPhone 3G  App that will track your daily travels.

    I am looking for an App that will track your daily travels. Say you spend a day walking through NYC. At the end of the day you want to know how far you walked... see on a map where you walked and when you were at a specific spot. Does such an application for the 3G exist? If it doesn't... it should!

    Hi,
    Yes I realize that this would be a drain of the 3G battery... but it would be a great thing for the few days a year we do something like walk all around NYC and later would like a record of where we had been, how far we had walked etc. This would not be an everyday thing.

  • HT1688 looking for an ap to track an iphone

    I am looking for an app that will track an iphone.

    If you set up Find My iPhone on your device, you don't need an app. You can log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone area. Apple does however offer an app that you can use to track an iPhone from another iPhone, iPad or iPod touch:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
    If you have lost your iPhone and did not set up Find My iPhone or install some other tracking app/service on it, then there will be no way to track the iPhone unless your cell carrier offers a tracking service.
    Regards.

  • Looking for calorie tracker with monthly totals

    I'm looking for an app which will track my workouts and give me monthly totals on calories lost. Is there such thing? If not then I just need the best calorie tracker on the iPhone. I had this neat app on the Droid called cardiotrainer it did the trick but the iPhone doesn't have it.
    Thank you

    Going to the third party re-seller could be part of the issue, but also VZW now has a rule that if you go to a feature phone from a Smartphone, you have x amount of days to get back on a smartphone and keep unlimited data.Not much you can do to get around that.
    Going back to the Reseller. Even if VZW was able to get you back on the plan, you most likely would be hit with a $300+ETF from the reseller for changing something on your plan within 181 of sgning the contract with them.
    Either way, you would be paying more.

  • Looking for a program or app

    just coming from windows,i dont know if you call them apps or programs? im looking for something that will keep track of customers,money they owe,and money they pay.would be nice if it worked with the calendar and phone book but not necessary.thanks

    You didn't provide the actual name of the Windows program you are using so that features or prices can be compared. What do you expect to pay for a program, or do you want to use an online system that has monthly fees?
    I don't know of any inexpensive programs for the Mac that are specifically set up for Farriers, but there are many database type programs that might be adapted to your needs. GrandTotal, $79 - offers pretty good integration with the Mac Address Book and Calendar (especially if you get it bundled with their TimeLog program for an extra $10) and it also has an iPhone-iPad program that can read open and due invoices you've created with their program.
    You could also take a look at Bento, $49 - from FileMaker, which also has a program for iPhone-iPad. They offer some invoice templates that you can download and modify.
    Both of these companies offer free trials.
    I haven't used either of these products, but I am looking for something with better integration with my iDevices. The Quickbooks Connect program for iPad only works with the Windows version of Quickbooks Pro 2011 and requires a monthly subscription. Windows users are still complaining about it's lack of features so I'll probably pass.
    One of my clients has offered to buy my Quickbooks for Mac, and I might take him up on it if the GrandTotal program works out for me. The program is great, but not very nimble on-the-road.
    Hope this helps.

  • Always use URL Rewriting for session tracking?

    All you JSP guru:
    I am working on a JSP project that requires session tracking. I have successfully implements session tracking with both cookies or URL rewriting. I know that with the HttpSession object, it will always try to use cookie first, if that's disabled, then it'll automatically switch to URL rewriting. However, is there a way to force the HttpSession object to ALWAYS use URL rewriting instead of cookies? I have searched for an answer for a long time and haven't been able to found a solution. Is it possible at all? Thank you very much.

    i was going to say that WebSphere always uses URL rewriting if you enable it at all, but someone beat me to it (indirectly) :-)
    however, that seemed to me to be a violation of the spec, which seemed to imply the behaviour you're describing (only use URL rewriting if cookies are not supported on the current client)
    here's a response someone else made on a websphere newsgroup to a statement in that regard:
    I believe you are technically correct. However from my
    experience, I think the spec if flawed in this area since
    there is no reliable way of determining whether the
    client browser supports cookies. The authority on
    cookies (www.cookiecentral.com) says:
    "To properly detect if a cookie is being accepted via
    the server, the cookie needs to be set on one HTTP
    request and read back in another. This cannot be
    accomplished within 1 request."
    This is asking too much of a servlet engine
    implementation. Even if it did submit a request for this
    purpose, the user could refuse the cookie. So
    then technically the browser supports cookies, but the
    servlet engine infers it doesn't. So if the servlet engine
    infers the browser does not support cookies and so
    encodes the URL, it is again out of spec because the
    browser really does support cookies. By doing it
    however encoding is configured makes things simpler,
    robust, consistent and avoids the flaw.
    My opinion.so, mostly i'm just rambling, but if you're using websphere, you should get the behaviour your boss wants. if you're using something else, i suppose there's a chance it'll "violate" the spec in this same, potentially helpful way.
    btw, i remember somebody else complaining that URL rewriting is less secure than cookies, but i kinda think they're about equal. it seems like either could be intercepted by a sniffer and then used to spoof. but i'm no expert in that stuff...

    Hello All...
    Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
    I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.

    Thank you for the replies.  Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems.  I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work.  I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic.  When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones.  This actually helped.  I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems.  I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac.  I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed.  Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else. 
    If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.
