You can use this class http://www.purpletech.com/code/CookieDetector.html
or write your own like it.

You can not use URL rewriting instead of sessions, URL rewriting
is method of support of sessions without cookies, so you can
use sessions even if cookies is disabled on client.
See here http://novocode.de/doc/servlet-essentials/chapter2c.html
for more details.
