Sessions are dying ...

My configuration is Jigsaw 2.0.2 , JSDK 2.1, JDK 1.1.6 (AIX) and NS 4.5

My sessions objects are being nuked every 30 seconds. It doesn't matter
what value I set for setMaxInactiveInterval() , every 30 seconds, it 
creates a new session object.

Also, why are my session objects being killed ? I thought since the
session is being used (reg.getSession()) that should keep the session
alive ?

Here's a sample servlet to test this behavior. Use the servlet and
hit shit-reload every second or so. You'll see that the session dies
even though you're using it every second.

<pre>
+==================================
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class TestSession extends HttpServlet
{
        static Vector history = new Vector();

        public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse
res)
                throws ServletException, IOException
        {
                HttpSession session = req.getSession(true);
                if (session.isNew())
                history.addElement("Session " + session.getId() + "
created " + 
                        new Date(session.getCreationTime()));
                res.setContentType("text/html");
                PrintWriter out= res.getWriter();

                session.setMaxInactiveInterval(10);

                out.println("<title>TestSession</title><html><pre>Here
is your session information : <br>");
                out.println("<br>= SESSION
============================================");
                if (session.isNew())    out.println("<br><B>***** NEW
SESSION *****</B>");
                out.println("<br>Session : " + session );
                out.println("<br>ID      : " + session.getId());
                out.println("<br>Created : " + new
Date(session.getCreationTime()));
                out.println("<br>Accessed: " + new
Date(session.getLastAccessedTime()));
                out.println("<br>Inactive: " +
session.getMaxInactiveInterval() + " seconds.");
                out.println("<br>isNew   : " + session.isNew());
                if (session.isNew())    out.println("<br><br><B>*****
NEW SESSION *****</B>");
        
                out.println("<br><br>Session creation History;");
                Enumeration e = history.elements();
                while (e.hasMoreElements())
out.println((String)e.nextElement());
               
out.println("<br>======================================================");

                out.println("</pre></html>");
        }
}
+==================================
</pre>

Here's some sample output
