the proper cookie to pass for session id

[ky...@accenture.com]

Hello, this could be interpreted as a tomcat user question but I think it
is better answered by developers.  I am trying to simulate a browser with
succeding hits to my web application that is hosted by Tomcat.  As of yet I
have been unable to make the java simulation program appear the same as the
browser does.  In short, I can not get Tomcat to pick up the session id I
try to pass back to it with succeding requests.  Here is the code I am
using.  I parse out the session id from the header returned with the first
request.  Then I try to pass it back to Tomcat with all subsequent
requests.

//h1 is the cookie with the jsessionid in it.
//the data arrays that I pass in are, this is an intranet server and will
not work for others.

            ArrayList[] m_URL =
               {
                   new ArrayList(4),
                   new ArrayList(4),
                   new ArrayList(4)
               };

            m_URL[0].add("http");
            m_URL[0].add("lnmmfs02.launch-now.com");
            m_URL[0].add(new Integer(8097));
            m_URL[0].add("/lnie/launchnow");

            m_URL[1].add("http");m_URL[1].add
("lnmmfs02.launch-now.com");m_URL[1].add(new Integer(8097));m_URL[1].add
("/lnie/launchnow/Quickstart/enterQuickstart");

            m_URL[2].add("http");m_URL[2].add
