PLEASE help me on how can I control the length of the session ID appended to
the URL as this is very important for my requirement.

for clue : with weblogic we can do that by installing SP6 and then
specifying the session ID length in the properties file.

That's been really a great help.....Further can I control the length of this
sessionID as I am working on a project for mobile devices and these devices
dont support very long URLs.

Thanks

Tomcat uses non-persistent cookies (for Session ID) such as other server
scripting engines do...

If there is user with cookie enabled browser, everything works just fine
with non-persistent cookie JSESSIONID...
If there is not possible to use cookies, Tomcat automaticaly uses URL
rewriting...

At the server side, you should allways use method response.encodeURL(String
url) which returns correct form for URL as
needed!
It means, all <A>, <FORM action=...> and similar links must be retrieved
from this method...

As far as I know, it is not possible to switch URL-rewriting and using
cookie.
I have not found any purpose to use this behaviour yet (except testing).

You are just allways using response.encodeURL() and you do not need to care
whether client is using cookies or not. You
do not really need to care about that as a WebApp developper.
