session.getAttribute only works with localhost URL 1

[oricteropo]

I am successfully setting a session variable at the URL http:\\localhost:9080\testWeb using the following code:

if (request.getParameter("openReport") != null) {
session.setAttribute("reportName", stringReportName);
}
After the session variable is set I can then view it from anyother page on my site using:
session.getAttribute("reportName")

This same code work's when I use it on the URL http:\\rsc_sza:9080\testWeb (where rsc_sza is the name of my computer) but it seems to expire when I move off of the current page. I need the variable to persist throughout the entire session.

Anyone have any ideas what the problem may be?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

try checking the session state. It sounds like the settings are off a bit

here is a great resource I've used more then a few times on managing session state and more

Session Manager
