[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBAS-3528) HttpSession isNew() inaccurate if the 2nd request for the session is on different server

HttpSession isNew() inaccurate if the 2nd request for the session is on different server ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-3528 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3528 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Web (Tomcat) service, Clustering Affects Versions: JBossAS-3.2.7 Final, JBossAS-3.2.6 Final, JBossAS-4.0.2 Final, JBossAS-4.0.1 SP1, JBossAS-4.0.3 Final, JBossAS-4.0.3 SP1, JBossAS-3.2.8 Final, JBossAS-3.2.8.SP1, JBossAS-4.0.4.GA Reporter: Brian Stansberry Assigned To: Brian Stansberry Priority: Minor Fix For: JBossAS-4.0.5.CR1 Tomcat sets a session's isNew field to false as part of Request.recyle() processing, which occurs *after* the session has replicated. The effect of this is the replicated session has the wrong value. If the second request for the session goes to another node, a call to isNew() will be inaccurate. If there was more than one request on the 1st node, there is no problem. Any subsequent request on the 2nd node will also return the correct value. Simple fix is to set isNew to false whenever a session is deserialized. For 5.0 we can just skip serializing this field and set it to false in readObject; for binary compatibility must serialize it in 4.0.x.
