Tomcat and Sesssion question
Hi,
Does anyone know if there is any setting in tomcat 5 that I can use to
always attach JSESSIONID to all links in a webapp? Also, is there any way to
change the name (from JSESSIONID to sth else)?
Thanks a lot!
Tony

Yes, you would still have needed to send your links through one of :
HttpServletResponse.encodeURL()
or
HttpServletResponse.encodeRedirectURL()
(which is a fairly good practice anyways).
Your other option is to spend a bunch of time coding a javax.servlet.Filter
that wraps the response, then parses through the response, and re-writes the
links for you. iPlanet (yes, I'm an iPlanet survivor) was able to do this
long before Filters, with mixed success.

Thanks for your reply.
The situation is that we have an application already written. However, for
technical reasons, we need session ID to be attached to all links within the
application. Instead of going to every file and making modifications, I am
looking into the possibility of doing that by changing Tomcat
configurations. You have provided an excellent solution but the application
will still have to be modified on so that all URLs are encoded. Am I
correct?
Thanks again!
Tony

If you set context element cookies attribute in server.xml to false
,so using cookies for session identify is disabled and url-rewriting
will be used allways. Is this what want to do by attaching jsessionid to
all your links?
See http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
Name 'jsessionid' is spesified by servlet specs.
