In Tomcat 4.0 set the cookie attribute of the CONTEXT element to false to disable use of cookies. This will force URL rewriting if you need to store objects in the session scope.
//from Tomcat 4.0 reference http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/context.html cookies - Set to true if you want cookies to be used for session identifier communication if supported by the client (this is the default). Set to false if you want to disable the use of cookies for session identifier communication, and rely only on URL rewriting by the application. And as for automatically handling url rewriting. I'm assuming that u mean not having to use encodeURL in your code. No Application Server as far as I know does that. I was in a BEA Weblogic 6.0 class taught by a BEA Certified Trainer and he said that the only way to do it properly was to use encodeURL. As a matter of fact, he recommended (back by BEA e-docs) using encodeURL regardless of whether you are using URL rewriting, sessions, or even straight cookies. A look at the 6.1 e-docs shows that this has not changed in the new release: http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61///webapp/sessions.html#100770 -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Philip M.
