Cookies is default for jsp containers, jsp only goes to session ids if it cant get a hold of the cookies. X is automatically generated by the container if a session is requested, either directly by calling request.getSession() or by configuring the specific jsp page for sessions. I think html:link and forms automatically pass session ids and there isnt anything you can do about it.

I read Professional JSP, perused this mailing list and looked on the web and nothing really elaborates on where the state is stored by default. I see how the <html:link> </html:link> directive is translated into <a href=http://...;jsessionid=X></a> but where does it get X and where does it store the session information related to X? Does it rely on the jsession ID being passed around in URLs then keep the associated session information cached on the server? So if you have multiple servers you will need to use sticky load balancing to make sure users only use one webserver? What options are there in case I want to keep all session state in cookies? That is, ideally, I would generate an encrypted cookie w/ CRC containing the logged in username and minimal information about the user. And I would like to do this within the confines of Struts. Thanks for any help and I aplogize if this is a redundant question. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
