In memory. The cookie is set with an expiration of -1, which suggests to
the browser that it shouldn't bother writing it to disk.

?
Your servlet needs to call HttpServletResponse.encode[Redirect]URL() on each
URL it outputs, to add the session ID to the URL.

It uses cookies if enabled, URL re-writing (with the servlet's help) if not.

Tomcat, AFAIK.

Subject: Questions about Tomcat Cookies
Hi,
I have used tomcat as standalone and w/ apache also.
In my applications , session tracking is working fine.
To the best of my knowledge , Tomcat does session tracking by combining use
of
1) Cookies
2) URL re-writing.
My browser alerts me , when tomcat tries to set the cookie.
But when i see cookies folder of my Win NT machine
(C:\Winnt\profiles\Administrator\cookies) , I didn't found any cookie by
name 'JSESSIONID'
MY QUESTIONS ARE :
1) If the cookies are not found in the directory , where are they ?
2) If I disable cookies in the browser , still session tracking will work ?
3) What exact combination does tomcat uses of cookies + URL re-writing
4) If Tomcat is used with Apache , then which one sets the cookies ?
TIA & Regards,
-Amit.
