Changing the default session key

[Lasse Koskela <la...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I recently encountered a requirement to use a session key other than
JSESSIONID for the cookie of a web application deployed on Tomcat 4
(I'm not yet sure about the exact version).

Now, I found a post from 2002 where Craig said it couldn't be done
(roughly because "JSESSIONID" is defined in the servlet spec and
because Tomcat thus doesn't need to support other session key names).
Is this still the case in 4.x and 5.x?

Yes this is the case. You'd need to change the source and recompile.
