I was just looking at how to turn off cookies in the context.xml file it
added this:

<parameter>
    <name>cookie</name>
    <value>false</value>
 </parameter>

Yet I am not seeing the URL rewritting... I was reading the tomcat doco,  am
I missing something.

(Please pardon these newbie questions)
