Since you are passing your session id through URL, the url string must contain the jsessionid parameter, i.e., you have to encode it.

I have one servlet, let's call it /myServlet, which implements a command like pattern wrapping a result generating application, for example I call the servlet with 1) localhost:8080/myServlet?command0=load&argument0=&command1=init&argument=1&queue length=2 The servlet parses the command and arguments into command objects and passes them onto an instance of an application which is stored in each users session (each user has his own instance of the application), the application processes the request using templates blablahblah and the servlet gets all the generated content using getResult() dumping it into the output stream of the servlet. Where in this process should the automatic url rewriting occur? I haven't got a clue.... Does my own request (see 1) overwrite any jsessionid that should automatically be added ? Is url rewriting only supported directly from hyperlinks in a jsp page? Hope anyone can help, I'm using apache tomcat/4.1.24 (and not 4.1.23 ;-)) Hans --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
