thanks for your time and responses. Maybe we'll jumping in too complicated too fast. My current theory is that this stuff should be handled but there may be some problems in JRun. I've seem what seem to be similar complaints in their forum. I was able to determine that even with cookies off in JRun and in my browswer that it was reporting that it was getting session info from a cookie which is one reason I'm currently suspicious of a JRun issue.
