Losing Sessions

Question

I posted this on the ejb group, but then it occured to me this might be
          better.
          Hi all,
          Something very odd here.
          WLS 7.0, trying to get a WAR ported.
          Deploys allright, connects to the EJBs allright, but after the first page
          (our login page), the next JSP explodes because something it is looking for
          in the HttpSession that was put there by the Login page, is gone. In fact,
          the session that I get in the JSP's 'session' variable has no items
          whatsoever (using getAttributeNames() to check).
          WLS is running on my own machine, so my URL to the app is:
          http://localhost:7001/appName.
          I played around a bit looking at the HTTP headers and what not, and it seems
          that the JSESSIONID cookie is always changing from WLS, which would explain
          why my sessions are going away.
          The WAR works fine under Tomcat (no mean feat, as we had to tweak a lot of
          stuff to get this to compile under WLS), but now with the session loss, the
          app is pretty much dead in the water, as we can't get past our login page.
          Any ideas?
          Thanx!

          Did anyhow you wrote to the "next JSP" with some expiring control on the
          top/header of the page?
