http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40111 Summary: HttpSession's getLastAccessedTime() does not always return previous request's access time Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.17 Platform: Other OS/Version: Windows 2000 Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I noticed a difference in behaviour between Tomcat 4.1 and Tomcat 5.5.17, of the getLastAccessedTime() method of HttpSession. In Tomcat 5.5.17, this method returns the time of the last request (before the current one) that actually accesses the session. In Tomcat 4.1, it returns the time of the last request that was part of the session. This means, that if you create a session in servlet A, the user then calls a servlet B that does not call the getSession method, and then goes to a servlet C to check getLastAccessedTime()'s value, it will get the time of the request to servlet A in Tomcat 5.5.17, and B in Tomcat 4.1. <Servlet spec (2.3 and 2.4) quote> The getLastAccessedTime method of the HttpSession interface allows a servlet to determine the last time the session was accessed before the current request. The session is considered to be accessed when a request that is part of the session is first handled by the servlet container. </quote> Based on the first sentence I'd expect to get the access time of servlet A, but with the definition of "to be accessed" in the second sentence I'd expect to get the access time of servlet B. Either way, if I use the response.encodeURL method in servlet B, Tomcat 5.5.17 will give me the same result as Tomcat 4.1. Therefore I think this is a bug and not a change of interpretation of the spec. #encodeURL leads to an update of the lastAccessed field: StandardSession.access() line: 608 Request.doGetSession(boolean) line: 2203 Request.getSessionInternal(boolean) line: 2169 Response.isEncodeable(String) line: 1362 Response.encodeURL(String) line: 1092 ResponseFacade.encodeURL(String) line: 363 MySession.doGet(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) line: 35 I will try to attach my test application, which also includes a png image of a sequence diagram in which I try to explain what I am doing. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
