html
Encodes the specified URL by including the session ID in it, or,
if encoding is not needed, returns the URL unchanged.
The implementation of this method includes the logic to determine whether
the session ID needs to be encoded in the URL.
For example, if the browser supports cookies,
or session tracking is turned off,
URL encoding is unnecessary.
<a
href="<%=response.encodeURL("http://www.idontknow.com/Idunno.html";)%>">Mongo
only pawn in game of life</a>
In your Servlet code
response.sendRedirect(encodeRedirectURL(http://www.idontknow.html));

Subject: Tomcat not sending JSESSIONID (servlet session cookie) with new
sessions
> Hello there - newbie question. I'm developing a browser-based application.
I i) copy the war file to the webapps/ directory, ii) startup tomcat and
iii) send an http request from Firefox.
>
> In my handling servlet, if a session doesn't exist for this client, then I
create one (via request.getSession(true)). I expect that cookie (and by
extension the session) to still be there on the next request. However,
tomcat's HTTP response to the first request does not include the JSESSIONID
cookie. So effectively my application is still only request scoped (tomcat
is creating a new session with each request).
>
> How can I get tomcat ( I've tried tomcat-5.5.25 and tomcat-6.0.16 ) to
reliably send the JSESSIONID cookie when a new session has been created? I
turned on Tomcat 6's RequestDumperValve, and got debugging info that
indicates that the JSESSIONID is being generated in the response. However,
when my browser receives the response, the cookie isn't there.
