Tomcat (or any other servlet container) will actually modify the URL only
under the following circumstances:
* There is actually a session in existence
* The URL you are encoding points back into the same webapp
* The container knows that cookies are not in use (because
this is not the first request for the session, and we got
the session id from the URL previously.
In your particular example, encoding would only take place if the context
path of your application is "jtests". In addition, you must have called
request.getSession() to create the session *before* executing the
encodeURL call.
