I want to use acitive record store session.  
So I edited files like below.

\*environment.rb  
config.action\_controller.session\_store = :active\_record\_store

\*application.rb  
protect\_from\_forgery :secret =\> ‘54420ada…’

\*rake task  
rake db:sessions:create #successfully created

And controller and views like below

\*Controller  
class TestIndexController \< ApplicationController  
def index  
session[:test]=‘Test Value’  
…  
end  
end

\*Views  
test\_index/index.html.erb  
\<%=session[:test]%\> #=\>‘Test Value’

test\_index/new.html.erb  
\<%=session[:test]%\> #=\>nil\<==This is the problem!!

Session table creates session data certainly, but I can’t get  
session[:test]  
value except index action.  
Why?? Please give me advice!

PS:My environment is below.  
Rails 2.2.2  
ruby1.8.6  
gem 1.3.1  
Mac OS 10.5.5
