problem in session tracking -

Posted by saddy on May 17, 2001 at 5:12 PM

Hello friends,

Here are two JSP pages

First JSP Page
<%
session.setAttribute("attr",new String("It is Valid"));
String s = (String)session.getAttribute("attr");
out.println(s);
out.println(session.getId());
%>
next

Second JSP Page
<%
String s2 = (String)session.getAttribute("attr");
out.println(s2);
out.println(session.getId());
session.invalidate();
%>
prev

Now i have following doubts
1) why the attribute which was set in first page is not accesible in second
page although the same session is continuing( as it has same ID);

2) Even though the second page calls session.invalidate() the session does not terminates as if you press prev button the same session ID is displayed.

thanks in advance
