Umm, Slap me down if I'm wrong but I assume you mean: should you generate your own cookie, or should you use the Session object to store the information? Tomcat has two mechanisms for retaining session information. Using cookies or URL rewriting. I believe that it uses the first by default but that it can be turned off. Essentially you are choosing between creating your own cookie, or having tomcat do it for you I think. Of course, if you are going to store session information in any cookie, make sure that your app tests whether browsers are accepting them or not - cos then you'll ahve to switch to the other method (rewriting). I'm not sure what best practice in this case would be as I've used both methods in the past (and a couple of others as well but we won't discuss those...). I'd use cookies with url-rewriting as a backup tbh. james --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
