Thanks Michael.
I changed the tomcat code and recompiled and it works fine.

Of course you could change the source. I doubt this cookie name can be
configured.
Due to cookie domain conflict with the JSESSIONID of two servers we once
patched the Tomcat binaries directly.
Just search in \server\lib jars for classes (as far as I remember there
are only 2-3 .class files that need to be patched) with the string
JSESSIONID, take a hex editor and set it to JSESS123ID for example. Put
the patched class files back into the jars etc.
Make sure that the string has the same length as the original cookie name!
Kind of a hack, but it works!
Greetings
Michael
