Firefox issues with RAP - HTTP session [message #438558] Fri, 31 July 2009 04:36 Go to next message

Hi folks,

We are having some issues with Firefox on RAP. Occasionally, our
application will trigger an HTTP session invalidation, such as by
heartbeat-style timeout or (unfortunate) multiple windows being opened
(although we are aware of the rumor floating around that popups are bad
for RAP applications, but that is another matter). This happens on at
least Firefox 3.5 and IE 8.

The much more serious problem, however (the one we are focusing on to fix
first) is that Firefox doesn't seem to be forgetting its session
variables, and always seems to try to reuse the previous session (i.e.
JSESSIONID=... request variable doesn't change) when you click the
provided link to restart the session. As a result, it seems, the session
instantly times out again preventing any user logins. You have to restart
Firefox completely before you can log in again.

We are using the RAP 1.2.0 release.

Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have any pointers toward what
might be done to investigate and/or fix this problem?

Cheers!
Fritz

Hi Fritz,

We were experiencing similar problems. Our application has a plain Login
Page (JSP) that runs in front of the RAP part. Whenever the user logs in
and a session exists, this session is terminated on the serverside
(session.setMaxInactiveInterval(1) or sessionToInvalidate#invalidate())
before delegating to the RAP part.

That worked for us.

Regards,
Stefan.
