I've tried forcing the url rewriting behavior by deploying the following snippet in a context.xml file in my webapp's META-INF directory.
<Context path="/mywebapp debug="10" cookies="false"> <!-- Default set of monitored resources --> <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource> <!-- Uncomment this to disable session persistence across Tomcat restarts --> <!-- <Manager pathname="" /> --> </Context> This provides a work-around under Tomcat 5.5, but does not change the behavior seen under Tomcat 5.0. And of course, Tomcat 5.0 is the version we ship our product with. :) I've also tried taking the snippet and adding it to Tomcat 5.0's server.xml file, but that also does not force url rewriting. So there seem to be two issues. First, when url encoding produces cookies, why does the request to the servlet in step 2) not transmit the cookie and reuse the same original session, but it is sent and reused in step 3)? Second, why does the configuration for turning off cookies not work under Tomcat 5.0? Thanks, again. David On 4/28/07, Rashmi Rubdi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Sorry for repeating this, but just to be clear, in the above statement, default behavior means that cookies="true". This means that in the browser when cookies are enabled, JSESSION id will be written to a cookie. > I should elaborate further and mention that the urlEncode method causes url > rewriting to occur.
