On first request, a session is created. Tomcat (or any other servlet container) wan use two mecanism to handle sessions : cookies or URL rewriting (add a ";jsessionid=...").
Preference is for cookies, because it doesn't need to change URLs in pages, but on first request, Tomcat has no way to know if the browser accepts cookies, so it needs to rewrite URLs AND put a setCookie header. If next request have cookie, URL rewriting is not mandatory anymore. URL rewriting is done when encoding URL using response.encodeUrl(). Struts is compliant with J2EE and calls this method in jsp tags for every URL it has to render. If you don't want such URL to be shown in user browser, you should use a redirect on your first action.
