CFMX doesn't set the jsessionid cookie itself, it's set by the J2EE application server. Setting CMFX to use J2EE session management means CFMX session variables are stored in the J2EE HTTP session object (and can thus be accessed through Java calls).
Setting CFMX for J2EE session management on a shared host would require some coordination, but seems feasible. best, Chris Norloff http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/tn18232.htm ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Nick Cabell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2004 11:26:20 -0800 >I am running CFMX on my development XP machine and have turned OFF "Use j2ee >session variables" i.e. it is NOT checked >but a session cookie called jsessionid is still written (twice!) everytime I >enter the site from my browser.
