My webapp is having an issue since upgrading to Tomcat 7. My session will go null after I login and try to do anything (submitting a request). I've read that setting the following may help:

org.apache.tomcat.util.http.ServerCookie.FWD_SLASH_IS_SEPARATOR=false

Does anyone know where to set this? Should this be set in web.xml, context.xml or somewhere else?

The other thing I want to check is the following:

org.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE

You can set any of the system properties in 

apache-tomcat-7.0.33\conf\catalina.properties

file. Adding your entry in this file should resolve your problem.

E.g.

environment=local
