Have you set cookies="false" in the app's <Context> declaration? That'd do it.
What happens if you put a trivial test.jsp in webapps/ROOT and request http://www.yourserver.com/test.jsp? By default a JSP will create a session and you should get a JSESSIONID cookie. -- Len On Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 7:28 PM, Timothy Washington <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello there - newbie question.
