Hi there Craig,
I've been trying to do a similar kind of thing. Unfortunately the APIs were
deprecated AND DISABLED without warning when they went from Servlet API 2.0
to 2.1. Which is pretty awful for anyone using those API's. Apparently they
were a security risk, but they have legitimate uses as well which the
Servlet API team decided to ignore. :-(
Alternatives are:
- write your own session management,
- observe the way the servlet engine encode sessions and simply copy it
yourself: for JRun, something like <url>?jrunsessionid=<session>
If the powers that be had simply provided a
HttpServletResponse.encodeUrl( String url, boolean force )
method, my (and I suspect your) problems would have been solved... but
despite my repeated requests, they haven't done so yet. :-(
Geoff
