response.encodeURL and jsessionid

["Varghese, Rennu" <Re...@ubswenergy.com>]

Hello all,
	I have a serious problem with url rewriting in tomcat.

here are the snippets of code. I'm using tomcat 3.3a

 I have cookies turned off, in server.xml <SessionId cookiesFirst="false" noCookies="false" />, I also tried with noCookies = false.  i've taken out exception handling and irrelevant code.
 
	String orgpath = response.encodeURL( url );
  	forwardRequest( url, request, response );
      context_.getRequestDispatcher( url ).forward( request, response );
  
I have a simple test jsp with code like this.
  
            String sessionIdStr = ";jsessionid=" + request.getSession().getId() ;
            String topFrameUrl = response.encodeURL("/home" +  "?ID=InitialTask");
        <%
            out.println("Session id string is: " + sessionIdStr );
      	out.println("<br>");
      	out.println("Top frame new url is: " + topFrameUrl); 
	%> 

the session id prints correctly. but the topFrameUrl prints without the ;jsessionid part.  
It's killing me. It looks like the response.encodeURL on jsp is not working.  I've tried both encodeUrl(deprecated) and encodeURL

I've seen numerous postings in the archives regarding this issue, but no conclusive solution or answer that works. Somebody has to have a solution to this, other than hacking the urls in the jsp to include ;jsessionid before the ?


thanks,
	Rennu.
