Some small addition:
URL Rewriting is only used when cookies are switched off.
>From the Servlet Spec:

SRV.7.1.3 URL Rewriting
URL rewriting is the lowest common denominator of session tracking. When a
client will not accept a cookie, URL rewriting may be used by the server as
the basis
for session tracking. URL rewriting involves adding data, a session ID, to
the URL
path that is interpreted by the container to associate the request with a
session.
The session ID must be encoded as a path parameter in the URL string. The
name of the parameter must be jsessionid. Here is an example of a URL
containing encoded path information:
http://www.myserver.com/catalog/index.html;jsessionid=1234

SRV.7.1.4 Session Integrity
Web containers must be able to support the HTTP session while servicing HTTP
requests from clients that do not support the use of cookies. To fulfill
this
requirement, Web containers commonly support the URL rewriting mechanism.
