With servlets, it does not matter if cookies are popular/supported or not.
The reason why is that if you implement the HttpSession object methods in
your servlet and you use the encodeUrl() method, then you are set with
regards to session management since it will attempt to set a cookie once and
if that fails, all your URL's will be re-written to support the session in
the url. Read the Servlet API spec on the HttpSession object.
Also, if you want to use a framework to support transparent session
management, check out Dash...<http://www.working-dogs.com/dash/>
