Hi folks,
i actually face a strange phenomenon with the Tomcat session handling mechanism. I want to use URL-rewriting instead of cookies and i used therefore the cookies="false" attribute in the <Context> element.
First the entry in the server.xml looked like that:
<Context path="app" docBase="app" cookies="false" reloadable="false"/>
With this setting, Tomcat simply ignores the cookies="false" attribute and continues to set cookies and leaves the url unrewritten. I then tried a little bit around and changed the server.xml entry to like that:
<Context path="" docBase="app" cookies="false" reloadable="false"/>
and voila, Tomcat stops setting cookies and rewrites the url with the jsessionid value, as desired.
It seems, that Tomcat only does URL-rewriting, when the path attribute is empty.....
Did anybody else face this phenomenon? Is it possible, that this might be an implementation bug? I actually use Tomcat 5.0.24 on a Linux RedHat 9 distro machine.....
Comments are welcome!
Best regards,
Thilo
