URL rewriting ad nauseum

My site *has* to track sessions whilst allowing users to disable cookies.

In development so far i've been using tomcat with apache (using mod_jk). 
This isn't going to work for the real thing (bug #1388)  As far as i can
see and if i understand right, i have 3 options:

1) Use Tomcat standalone
2) Use mod_jserv
3) Use something else other than Tomcat

None of these appeal particularly, but in the meantime, I have to do
something... so:

Firstly, does anyone know of the approximate comparative performance
difference between tomcat standalone and tomcat/apache with mod_jserv? 
(given that most of my pages are jsp pages...)  Is there a huge
difference?

Secondly, does anyone have any recommendations for (my least favourite)
option three? (sorry)

With many thanks for any advice,
Rosario

Session tracking without cookies is a huge engineering mess.
I don't quite understand what your choice of server platform
has to do with it. Have you taken a look at the HttpSessionObject?
Is that what you mean with the bug you mention? (I've used cookies
solely, I don't know much about HttpSession...)
