It looks like no one had to deal with this earlier. I made a work around,
not fancy but works.
I used:
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh
CONTENT="600;
URL=../jsp/UserMessage.jsp?jsessionid=To1071mC22961575233267228At&msgid=1001&grace=120;">
and in this page for <form> etc., I used:
<form action=<%= "/jsp/newPage;jsessionid=" +
request.getParameter("jsessionid")%>>
