All containers that implement Servlet 2.2 or 2.3 are required to support
"URL rewriting", which encodes the session identifier in the url as a path
parameter (not a query parameter). However, it is up to your application
to make sure you call response.encodeURL() as you are creating such links.
The good news for Struts users is that tags like <html:form> and
<html:link> do this for you, so that if you create all your links with the
tags, you don't have to worry about URL rewriting yourself.
