Session-ID grabbing from Request accepts invalid session cookies in presense of valid 
URL sessions





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-02-08 15:38 -------
I agree, that when we can use cookies, session IDs from cookies should be 
preferred. Preferring URL rewritten session IDs over cookies has only be a 
potential point of discussion (see first comment). 
 
But IMHO if all session IDs read from cookies are bogus and the session ID 
from the URL is a valid one, then tomcat should go for the valid one. 
 
So its not a matter of 'use cookies' or 'use URL-rewriting' but 'use a valid 
session id gotten from the client while valid session cookies override session 
IDs from the URL'. If you do the check as pointed out in your message from  
2004-02-08 10:43, this is almost it as I understand it.. 
..If you do not override a valid session ID with an invalid one from a cookie.
