Thanks Mark. That cleared it up for me:
Re: a) look at the html source of the responses and/or look at the
URLs for
the links you are clicking on before you click on them.
That's the trick. The source for that (in a JSP) looks like:
<a href= <%=response.encodeURL ( "anotherPage.jsp" )%>
class="top_parent">Another Page</a>
And when I hover over that link, the Browser footer shows that the
request includes the attached jsessionid.
Cheers,
Ken

Run through your test again, but this time:
a) look at the html source of the responses and/or look at the URLs
for
the links you are clicking on before you click on them.
Here's what seems to me to be the sequence of
events:
Browser sends initial request http://myapp.com
Tomcat creates session and generates page for this request.
Tomcat doesn't know that Browser supports cookies, so it
should
append jsessionid (but doesn't ??)
Nope. The URL displayed in the address bar is the one you requested.
You
should also take a look at the links in the html source at this point.
Browser get's Tomcat response & display's page with address:
http://myapp.com
Correct.
Browser creates JSESSIONID cookie (using info supplied by Tomcat in
response):
Cookie has contents: 4E4F86E5B779F43BCA7895B8A554FDCD
-----
Browser makes 2nd request, for http://myapp/anotherPage. Browser
must
definitely by now be stating that it supports cookies.
Correct. But look at the URL for the link you click on at this point.
Tomcat prepares response, adding jsessionid (why?),
Nope. Again, the URL in the address bar is the URL you requested. It
is
not part of the response.
the SAME
jsessionid as in the cookie: 4E4F86E5B779F43BCA7895B8A554FDCD
Browser displays response with jsessionid showing in address bar.
Correct.
----
More interactions, but no more jsessionid's.....
Correct.
