Works on development server but it doesn't on Google App Engine (Sessions).

Question

Hi,

I have this code that works just fine on the development server but when I deploy the application, the session isn't created. What am I doing wrong?

HttpSession session = req.getSession(true); session.setAttribute("loggedIn", new String("true"));

Edit:

The sessions are enabled. What I realized now is that the _ah_SESSION variable is not being created, not even on the development server (although it works).

Answer 1

Did you enable sesssion in APE. See instructions here,

Answer 2

Here is how you can get the session in GAE:

this.getThreadLocalRequest().getSession();
