Re: Apache RewriteRule and Sessions [FIXED]

["Hartwig, Thomas" <t....@crapoud.com>]

Hi Tony,

thanks for your response first, it gave me back the energy for looking 
further at least. ;-)
The problem was the cookie path. Tomcat and its persistent session 
manager stores the "JSESSIONID" cookie with the rewritten url, which 
then is not sent back to the server because the client browser sees only 
the original request url.
Unfortunately I did not found a configuration possibility to force the 
path of the session cookie of the persistent manager.
So I set a new cookie "JSESSIONID" with the absolut path "/", which then 
  is sent to the servlet.

Greetings
Thomas
