Still: Force No Cookies?

Hi,

I know this question has been asked before, because I read through
the Tomcat-FAQ and other docs and have read about fifty postings
from the archive at mikal.org but still can't find an answer. (Can't seem
to get more different postings whatever I vary the search.)

Simple question is:

    How to force the servlet engine to use URL Rewriting for session
    handling even if the browser can handle cookies?

Thanks for your patience...

For 3.1, I do not believe this is possible.

For 3.2b8 or later, there is a setting you can change in the
$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml to set this.  Search for the word "cookies" in this
file, and change the setting as instructed.
