I had the same problem and sorted it thus: 1) Create a new page, say "index_entry.jsp" with the following content (it is assumed your previous entry point was "index.jsp"):
<HTML> <HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=index.jsp"></HEAD> <BODY></BODY> </HTML> (Ok, if you have a particularly complex app structure, with modules etc - then you may need to change above path to index.jsp programmatically). 2) Change your "welcome file" in the app's web.xml to "index_entry.jsp" ... <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index_entry.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> ... 3) Explanation (long): This technique only works for me on tomcat as, tomcat does not seem to send a session cookie (nor indeed start a session) for the initial request to the root of the webapp, e.g. http://host.domain.tld/ - it only starts a session on request to a resource in the webapp, e.g. page/action. This is probably part of the spec - don't know because I haven't checked yet. NB: This was using TC 4.0.6 (bundled with netbeans on Windows 2000 with Sun's JDK 1.4.2). a) NO COOKIE FROM WEBAPP ROOT WITH RETURNED 302 When browsing to http://host.domain.tld/ - a cookie is not sent with the 302 (Moved Temporarily) response that re-directs to the "welcome file", e.g. "index_entry.jsp". See the following output from nc (http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/network_utilities/): X:\>nc 127.0.0.1 8081 GET / HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily Content-Type: text/html Connection: close Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2003 11:58:11 GMT Server: Apache Tomcat/4.0.6 (HTTP/1.1 Connector) Location: http://localhost:8081/index_entry.jsp <html><head><title>Apache Tomcat/4.0.6 - Error report</title><STYLE><!--H1{font- family : sans-serif,Arial,Tahoma;color : white;background-color : #0086b2;} BODY {font-family : sans-serif,Arial,Tahoma;color : black;background-color : white;} B{color : white;background-color : #0086b2;} HR{color : #0086b2;} --></STYLE> </ head><body><h1>Apache Tomcat/4.0.6 - HTTP Status 302 - Moved Temporarily</h1><HR size="1" noshade><p><b>type</b> Status report</p><p><b>message</b> <u>Moved Tem porarily</u></p><p><b>description</b> <u>The requested resource (Moved Temporari ly) has moved temporarily to a new location.</u></p><HR size="1" noshade></body> </html> b) BROWSER REQUESTS "WELCOME FILE", e.g. "index_entry.jsp" This time a cookie is sent server->browser with JSESSIONID in it. The server is not aware yet that the browser can send cookies (as one has not been sent from browser->server yet) - so if any links in this page use URL Rewriting then they will have the JSESSIONID appended to ensure session state is maintained. X:\>nc 127.0.0.1 8081 GET /index_entry.jsp HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: text/html;ISO-8859-1 Connection: close Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2003 12:04:34 GMT Server: Apache Tomcat/4.0.6 (HTTP/1.1 Connector) Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=5BF64BD681D362A1962D81AF7A3B4362;Path=/ <HTML> <HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=index.jsp"></HEAD> <BODY></BODY> </HTML> c) BROWSER REQUESTS REAL "WELCOME FILE", e.g. "index.jsp" This time the cookie is sent browser->server so the server is now aware that the browser can send cookies. Any links in this page will not now use URL Rewriting (unless of course browser has cookies disabled). Well that works for me - hopefully it will help someone else.
