Hi Peter
Had the same problem. I needed a solution quickly so I just patched the
code to get it to work.
Firstly, I created a class to handle the sessions:
-------------------------------
public final class SessionPatch
{
private static StandardManager sm;
private static SessionPatch sp;
private SessionPatch()
{
sm = new StandardManager();
sm.setSessionTimeOut(30);
try
{
sm.start();
} catch(IllegalStateException ex ) {}
}
public static SessionPatch getInstance()
{
if (sm == null)
{
sp = new SessionPatch();
}
return sp;
}
public HttpSession getNewSession()
{
return sm.getNewSession("");
}
public HttpSession findSession(String id)
{
return sm.findSession(id);
}
}
--------------------------------------
Then I used the following code on each page:
---------------------------------
SessionPatch patch = SessionPatch.getInstance();
HttpSession patchedSession;
if
((patchedSession=patch.findSession(request.getParameter("jsessionid")))=
=null)
patchedSession = patch.getNewSession();
---------------------------------
Then you can use patchedSession as your session object:
----------------------------------
patchedSession.setAttribute("user", user);
"unconditional.xml?jsessionid="+patchedSession.getId()
-----------------------------------
Ugly solution, but it works until I have time to figure out something
better.

Subject: response.encodeURL and Apache 1.3.12
encodeURL appends ";jsessionid=something" to the given URL (e.g.
response.encodeURL(test.jsp) results in test.jsp;jsessionid=something).
The Apache webserver can't handle such URLs. In other words, it is not
possible to use the (for production systems recommended) tomcat-apache
environment without using cookies to handle sessions. I know that
there's a workaround with Apache's mod_rewrite module but IMHO this
isn't a good solution.
So I created a special encodeURL function that appends the session id
somehow like "test.jsp?jsessionid=something" but I can't figure out how
to tell tomcat to use that request variable as the session id.
Thanx for your help,
Peter.
