setting my own jsession ID?

[Bo Williams]

I'm trying to integrate a shopping cart, which will live as a 
Tomcat-served application, with an older, existing product 
search/display site for one of our customers. The easiest solution 
that occurs to me is to take the session ID from the older site, and 
pass it to the Tomcat site in the link. Here's what I know won't work:

http://foo.com/bar.do;JSESSIONID=82357 (Tomcat ignores the JSESSIONID 
unless it is one it has generated)
http://foo.com/bar.do?itemID=foo;JESSIONID=82357 (everything past the 
equal sign gets passed as the value of itemID)

As far as I can see, Tomcat is determined to outsmart me and not 
allow this, most likely for good reason. Is there a workaround, an 
alternative way to force Tomcat to use a particular token as the 
JSESSIONID and pass that token on a link, or should I forge ahead 
with plans to manually associate a session ID from the old site with 
a Tomcat-assigned JSESSIONID at the application layer?

Thanks!
