Jetty Server's Session is Null - maven

Question

I am trying to implement a hello world Jetty project (using Jetty 9.3.6.v20151106) with a servlet that looks at the session. However, when my code runs, I am not able to see the session or store any cookies. I have looked at this stackoverflow question to help troubleshoot and implemented the simple BaseServlet recommended, but every time I run it the BaseServlet outputs "no session". Am I missing some configuration?
Here is my HelloWorld.java class:
package com.my.company;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpConfiguration;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpConnectionFactory;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.ServerConnector;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.SessionManager;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandlerCollection;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.HashSessionIdManager;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.HashSessionManager;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler;
import org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletContextHandler;
import org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler;
import org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHolder;
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//Create the server
Server server = new Server();
// Configure for Http
HttpConfiguration http_config = new HttpConfiguration();
http_config.setSecureScheme("https");
http_config.setSecurePort(8443);
http_config.setOutputBufferSize(32768);
ServerConnector http = new ServerConnector(server,
new HttpConnectionFactory(http_config));
int http_port = 12043;
http.setPort(http_port);
http.setIdleTimeout(30000);
server.addConnector(http);
//Add ServletContextHandler
ServletContextHandler servletContextHandler = new ServletContextHandler(
ServletContextHandler.SESSIONS);
servletContextHandler.setContextPath("/");
SessionManager sessionManager = new HashSessionManager();
sessionManager.setMaxInactiveInterval(60 * 15); //session time out of 15 minutes
HashSessionIdManager idManager = new HashSessionIdManager();
sessionManager.getSessionCookieConfig().setName("JSESSIONID_" + Integer.toString(http_port));
sessionManager.setSessionIdManager(idManager);
server.setSessionIdManager(idManager);
SessionHandler sessionHandler = new SessionHandler(sessionManager);
servletContextHandler.setSessionHandler(sessionHandler);
server.setHandler(servletContextHandler);
//Add BaseServlet
ServletHolder holder = new ServletHolder(new BaseServlet());
servletContextHandler.addServlet(holder, "/*");
//Start the server
server.start();
System.out.println("SERVER DUMP AFTER START" + server.dump());
// The use of server.join() the will make the current thread join and
// wait until the server is done executing.
// See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html#join()
server.join();
}
}
Here is my BaseServlet.java class:
package com.my.company;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
public class BaseServlet extends HttpServlet {
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws IOException {
boolean create = "true".equals(req.getParameter("create"));
HttpSession session = req.getSession(create);
if (create) {
session.setAttribute("created", new Date());
}
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(resp.getOutputStream());
pw.println("Create = " + create);
if (session == null) {
pw.println("no session");
} else {
pw.println("Session = " + session.getId());
pw.println("Created = " + session.getAttribute("created"));
}
pw.flush();
}
}

Answer 1

After talking with the folks on the Jetty Users Mailing List, I modified my code to become:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Create the server
Server server = new Server(12043);
// Add ServletContextHandler
ServletContextHandler servletContextHandler = new ServletContextHandler(
ServletContextHandler.SESSIONS);
servletContextHandler.setContextPath("/");
server.setHandler(servletContextHandler);
// Add BaseServlet
ServletHolder holder = new ServletHolder(new BaseServlet());
servletContextHandler.addServlet(holder, "/*");
// Start the server
server.start();
System.out.println("SERVER DUMP AFTER START" + server.dump());
server.join();
}
Where the output is: Request = Request(GET //localhost:12043/)#968bbe8
Response = HTTP/1.1 200
Date: Thurs, 2 Jun 2016 13:00:04 GMT
Create = false
no session
Which is expected since, the call request.getSession(false) does not create the session. It only returns it if it has been previously created.
