session id occasionally put into URL?
I am using Tomcat 3.2.1, mod_jk (w/ ajp13), Linux, Apache 1.3.19. I
have the home page of a site mapped to a servlet, by mapping index.html
to a servlet in the web.xml file. The problem is, I sporadically get
the session id showing up in the URL, and this results in a 404 Not
Found.
When it works "properly", I can go to the URL, "http://foo.bar.com" for
example. Apache determines this means I want the index.html file, and
then sees this is mapped to a servlet via mod_jk, etc., and runs the
servlet, all is fine. The browser displays either http://foo.bar.com,
or sometimes http://foo.bar.com/index.html plus any parameters, etc.
The problem case is where I see the browser shows the URL similar to
http://foo.bar.com/;jsessionid=9946qv2xml1 plus any params. This hoses
the browser, because it tries to request the web page of
";jsessionid...", and of course fails.
Can someone explain what's going on, and how I might fix this?

I got this problem before, it was because of the incorrect JavaScript code
in my JSP.
Hope this help.

I would think though, that this same problem would occur (if it is
happening in our code) under JServ? This never happened in JServ, so it
leads me to think Tomcat is somehow involved.

That's URL Rewriting -- which is an alternative way (to cookies) to
how session ids are transmitted. I think the API calls that put that
on the URL are encodeURL and encodeRedirectURL. So perhaps you have
some stray, unintended calls to those methods somewhere in your code.
