Hi Maximilian, Basically we are stuck with some legacy application parts that while these are scheduled to be replaced we have to support them until they have been. Using filters would not solve the issue as the 'Hack' as you put it is done at a cookie path level. We do use filters to implement security, ntlmv2 authentication, caching & anti-caching, etc so I am fully aware of the power of filters.
I agree hacking away at a part of Tomcat is not the best solution but it was the only one currently available to resolve the issue. And was my original reasoning behind posting to this group to see if anyone could suggest a better solution. Thanks for your input.
