Turn off cookies, Tomcat should then rewrite URLs to include jsessionid.
Then it's trivial to hijack such session.

Your only avenue in avoiding a session hijack is SSL. IP checking is of limited success and still allows for the man-in-the-middle attack as well as hijacks from others that log-in behind the same cable router you are on. If it's important enough that session hijacking is a concern, it needs to be encrypted.
