Or simply leave out the cookies attribute in your Context, this defaults to
cookies = "true" anyway.

No.
Googlebot and other bots do use cookies. If you want to test this, turn on the
Cookies logging attribute on in your AccessLogValve Settings.
To use AccessLogValve simply uncomment it in your server.xml and set the
pattern to your own *custom pattern* .
In your custom pattern specify %{Cookie}c
For example like this:
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
pattern="%H "%{User-Agent}i"%{Cookie}c"
prefix="localhost_access_log." resolveHosts="false" suffix=".txt" />
Stop and re-start Tomcat instance so that the above logging is activated.
Wait a few days for bots to crawl, when you see Googlebot or Yahoo Slurp ,
you'll see the Cookies they use, it will appear in the log entries for those
bots.
If you want to set additional logging parameters in your AccessLogValve or want
to see what the parameters mean here are more details:

>>false --- uses only URL-rewriting.
>>Nowhere there an option to disable URL-rewriting totally.

No , I'm using Tomcat 5.5. And I've omitted the cookies attribute of Context in
my Tomcat settings.
And Googlebot or any other bot is accessing the URLs just fine (that is without
the jsessionid ).
When I look in the server access logs, jsessionid is *not being appended* at
the end of the URL, for Googlebot or other bots.
