Session Tracking cookie

["Sarkar, Sudipta" <Su...@workscape.com>]

Hi,
   I am using Tocat 3.2.1 on Win 2000. As Tomcat uses a cookie name JSESSIONID to track httpsession, is there any way to change the name of this cookie.
Thanks

I don't think so.  But why would you want to?

(Well, actually, you probably could, but you'd have to hack the source
code; and it's probably not a good idea all around.)

In very early versions of the spec, the name of the session cookie was
not mandated.  At some point, I don't recall, maybe 2.0, it was
mandated.  And that's probably a good thing -- it makes things clearer
and more portable.
