Question re: static/dynamic content, cookies, session tracking

[Kevin McBrearty <ke...@atg.ca>]

I just want to clarify my understanding of something here.

I have a web application which serves both static and dynamic pages, and 
the user can move back and forth between static and dynamic pages. The 
dynamic pages are generated by servlets using Velocity. Session tracking 
is involved, and this works fine when cookies are enabled on the 
browser. The problem is when cookies are disabled and the user moves 
from a dynamic page to a static page and back again.  My understanding 
is that URL rewriting is the responsibility of the application, not the 
web server, so that to maintain session tracking between static and 
dynamic pages when cookies are disabled means that I would have to serve 
all pages, both static and dynamic, from a servlet and use encodeURL to 
properly encode the links to and from the static pages.

Is this correct or am I missing something very fundamental here ?
