Which logs do you mean ?? I have looked at the JServ logs and they don't
tell me anything about sessions or cookies.
I know that no cookies are being set as I have explicitly turned them off on
my browser and specified in my zone.properties file that use cookies is
false. I assumed that everything should be handled on the server side with
URL re-writing.
Everything I am doing is on my local machine (web server and Jserv,
development, access to web server through browser) so I'm not sure whether
DNS is my problem (although my boss is messing with our DNS at the minute
!!)
I don't think that it is my code as I have used this stuff on Weblogic
before. This wouldn't worry me too much but as this is used as a security
type feature, it would be silly to always assume that people will have
cookies enabled.
Thanks for your help !!
