Hi :-) about "who is First selected for making-session: cookies or
URLre-writing?",

In 3.2, look in "conf/server.xml" for the string
noCookies="false"
and change it to
noCookies="true"
IIRC, this change is global to all webapps in this JVM.
In 4.0, the <Context> element includes a "cookies" attribute that you can
use to turn cookies on or off on a per-webapp basis. It defaults to
"true", so turn them off like this:
<Context path="/examples" ... cookies="false" ...>

so I think:
- by default, TOMCAT will cookies
- but I also can ask TOMCAT to use URLre-writing, no matter
the browser supports cookies or not
