If u use the servlet API to track sessions, the server will resort to URL
rewriting when client cookies are disabled. So, if use a session.putValue()
or session.getValue(), either cookies OR URL rewriting used @ the client
side. Note that you have to encode ALL URLs for URL rewriting to work. The
way you do it is:
response.encodeUrl(url_string) for POST and HTML A HREFs
response.encodeRedirectUrl(url_string) for all redirects...
To test if your web app works with URL rewriting, simply disable cookies and
check whether some sort of a session id is appended to all URLs.
Hope this helps,

Subject: Session testing question
