How do I turn off the use of cookies in the server.xml? I only see one
location where cookies are mentioned.
<!-- Request processing -->
<!-- Session interceptor will extract the session id from
cookies and
deal with URL rewriting ( by fixing the URL )
-->
<RequestInterceptor
className="org.apache.tomcat.request.SessionInterceptor" />
Do I comment out this section?
