No, that's not exactly correct. Tomcat performs URL rewriting in its default
configuration. So sessions are not 'only' possible if cookies are enabled.

As a first line of defense, your JSP/servlets should be using the encodeURL
or encodeRedirectURL methods to ensure that any user that has cookies
disabled can use your application.

There is also a way to force tomcat to use URL rewriting, no matter whether
the user has cookies or not.
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/context.html  Search
that page for "cookies"

Hi,

Is it correct, that session tracking with TOMCAT is only possible if
Cookies are allowed in the browser. Or is there any configuration
possibility to use URL rewriting if a browser has cookies disabled?

Thanks,

Thomas
