Is it possible to use a parameter other than JSESSIONID to maintain session?
Hi,
I'm currently working on a server application using Tomcat, and I've
run into a snag. The clients for the application are custom HTTP
clients (a provider's custom client that won't be changing on our
behalf) that do not have the ability to persist the JSESSIONID in the
request. However, there is already a unique parameter (let's call it
CUSTOMPARAM) that they do send with every POST to us. I still want to
use Tomcat's sessioning, but I need it to do two things:
1. Use the CUSTOMPARAM as the unique session parameter.
2. Not rewrite the parameter in the response, leaving that control to
my application.
Is there a way to just tell Tomcat in the configuration that I want it
to use a different parameter to identify the session, and that I don't
need it to rewrite it in my response? I've been through the docs, a
book on Tomcat 5, and the mailing list archives, and I haven't been
able to find anything.
Thanks,
Garth

1) Checkout the source
2) issue the command
cd {tomcat src base}
find . -name '*.java' | xargs grep -i jsessionid
This will tell you all the placed jsessionid is used.

Changing the name in Globals.java seems to partially work. Now, in
order to have Tomcat just use that value, and not try to rewrite it
(or expect it in a specific format), I need to find where in the code
Tomcat looks up that parameter, and where it rewrites it to the URL.
Can anyone familiar with the code point me in the right direction?
Thanks again,
Garth

You *might* be able to recompile tomcat with only changing:
