URL rewriting question ..

In order to enable URL rewriting as opposed to storing cookies 
automatically we need to use the encodeURL(String url) or 
encodeRedirectURL(String url) method in the Servlets and/or JSPs. Is 
there a more easier way to do this as opposed to going thru the entire 
webapp and doing this for every URL or redirection ? Are there some 
configuration settings in Tomcat 4.1.x that can be set in say the 
server.xml or web.xml that can be used ?

Thanks.

Wouldnt it be nice a feature like this that one can turn on or off 
globally in a container like tomcat ? The existing way to granularly do 
it should remain, but a global way to do it would be nice ..

Nope. Tomcat won't look through your responses for things that look like 
URLs and append all the things you need (like sessison id, etc.).

However, if you are using a framework like Struts, you can use the tag 
libraries provided to add both the context path as well as any necessary 
session information to the URLs.

Unfortunarely, that still requires you to go back through all your pages 
and change all the links :(
