The name of the cookie used is specific to each servlet engine (for Apache
JServ, for example, it is "JServSessionId"). The value is just the identifier,
which is used in the server as a key to a hash table entry containing all of
the session information.
You won't necessarily even see this cookie in your cookie file, because the
server can set it to expire when you exit your browser. In such cases, the
browser can keep it in memory and never write it to disk.
