You don't need the name of the session parameter to get the ID of your own
session -- just use the getId() method described in the previous response.
For more complex requirements with current generation servlet engines, it is
engine dependent whether a parameter is used for the session ID at all, as well
as what its name is. In the 2.2 API, you will see all engines conform to the new
standard -- passing the session ID via a query parameter named "jsessionid" if
URL rewriting is used, or a cookie named "jsessionid" if cookies are used.
