If you wish to see struts' cookies in the browser - then the easiest way is
to use Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org/). After browsing your struts app
then use the following mechanism to find the cookie that is being used:
Moz:
Edit... Preferences...
Privacy Security / Cookies
Select Manage Stored Cookies
Look for the site, e.g. localhost, www.domain.tld
There should be a cookie named JSESSIONID - click on it to see the session
id
More info on per session cookies

IE does not seem to save the cookie to disk as the cookie is a per session
cookie. A per session cookie is a cookie that is only valid for the
current session - distinguished from a non-per session cookie by the fact
a per session cookie does not have an EXPIRES attribute.
See the following output from nc
(http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/network_utilities/) that makes this
clearer:
1) Output from a site with a per session cookie:
--
X:\nc 127.0.0.1 8081
GET /index.jsp HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html;ISO-8859-1
Connection: close
Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2003 12:04:34 GMT
Server: Apache Tomcat/4.0.6 (HTTP/1.1 Connector)
Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=5BF64BD681D362A1962D81AF7A3B4362;Path=/
2) Output from a site with a NON-per session cookie:
--
X:\nc java.sun.com 8081
GET / HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/6.0
Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2003 15:09:16 GMT
Content-type: text/html
Cache-control: no-cache=set-cookie
Set-Cookie: SUN_ID=12.34.56.78:1615:1061046556:19410; EXPIRES=Wednesday,
31-Dec-2025 23:59:59 GMT; DOMAIN=.sun.com; PATH=/
Note the addition of the EXPIRES information in the second example that
will indicate to the browser that this is _not_ a per session cookie. The
latter will be visible in the IE; the former will not. Mozilla will display
both in the Manage Stored Cookies window.

Subject: Re: where is JSESSIONID?
I have also wondered the same question many times. I assume in browser's
memory you mean. Good.
Is there any way to access it from the client code, javascript or related
stuff?
I my understanding cookies are stored in browser's machine hard disk. Is
this cookie for session an exception? I have seem many cookies in the
temporary files directory of the browser installation.
More info would be appreciated,
Adolfo.

If the browser does not accept cookies it is stored in the URL. If the
browser accepts cookies it is stored in the memory (session).
