Jacob and James, 
thanks a lot for your attention!I just need 2 things:
1 - find out who generated the http request , so i could compare it against
the correct url.
2 - to avoid direct http request ( i.e, from browser ), so i would create a
session id in the prior JSP and then, search for it into my servlet ( the
destination ). Is it clear?
Regards,
Euclides.

I think you are mixing concepts together.  The session cookie simply 
provides an id that uniquely points to a session.  This can also be 
replaced using URL rewriting of the session id.  You don't directly 
manipulate the session id.  This is handled by the container.  You just 
grab a session and start adding stuff to it and reading stuff from it.

If you are talking about a "remember me" feature, you could place a cookie 
on the client which is completely and utterly separate from the session 
cookie which stores some information about how to automatically re-log in 
without user intervention.

I think the latter is what you are looking for.
