It's the standard for doing this since HTTP/1.1.
Many other stable servlet engines will do this for you if JRUN can't
(eg: Tomcat).

It's easy to get confused with this sort of problem.

You have to udnerstand the mechanics of sessions.
When your servlet calls request.getSession(true) JRUN looks in the
places it might find a session id, those are cookies and HTTP
parameters.
The parameters come from 2 different sources: POST data and query
parameters.
But if you call request.getSession(true) before you parse the POST
data JRUN doesn't have access to the session id (should that be where
it is).
However... since you are encoding the URL, ie: with a query parameter
it should still work (because the session id should be available to
JRUN whether you parse the POST data or not).
Try printing out the query string (request.getQueryString()) when you
recieve the request... do you get the correctly encoded URL? If so
JRUN has a BIG bug and there must be a fix (I'd have thought).
It could be that JRUN is doing something wierd with query/POST
parameters.
