I tend to agree and would advocate the use of URL encoding for all stateful web-apps. However they have the drawback of making your URL look something like:

http://localhost:8080/manager/html/list;jsessionid=C76172F9BD3E29A9AFDEBDA349F853DF

So you use cookies for "tidy" URLs.

hi,

this begs the question, is it bad practice to require users to enable
cookies?

Ben,

I don't know of any way of checking (someone correct me if I'm
wrong!). What I have done is to attach an attribute to the session, redirect
to a small .jsp page with a <div visibility: hidden;> tag surronding a
form that automatically submits back to the servlet. The servlet can then check if the attribute is still there and if not, you know sessions
are disabled.
