All with have trouble if there are either bugs in or non-functioning URL
rewriting mechanism, or you use plain HTML or other non-JSP pages on the
site, or if the computer doesn't accept cookies (user turned off or browser
doesn't support them). In the end, the web is stateless because HTTP is
stateless, and the rest are just tricks to try to maintain state under such
conditions. If you absolutely must maintain state, you will find there are
many times when users will not be able to use your site.
