The examples as part of the 6.0.33 Tomcat deployment have both JSP and servlets. You are right that appending a path parameter of ";jsessionid=123" works for those. What is different and specific about my webapplication is that I am using icefaces pages which are different than either JSP or servlets. I could append path parameters to the URL for iface pages in Tomcat 6.0.32 and earlier but I cannot for Tomcat version 6.0.33 (and Tomcat 7). The reason why I am wanting to do this is to preserve the session in some special situations for my webapp. I'm also asking this in the icefaces forums on that company's web-site. They may also be interested in not losing any capability with their technology with the newer Tomcat versions.
I'm hoping to learn of a configuration setting in web.xml or server.xml that might let Tomcat recognize the page... For the time being, I will simply continue to use Tomcat 6.0.32. In the future, though, I would like to be able to upgrade. If you are so inclined to test out a simple webapp that has an iceface page, you can download a simple war file from http://snapdiagnostics.org/test3.war and test it out with both Tomcat 6.0.32 and 6.0.33. This war file is the most simple possible site that has an icefaces page. Once deployed, try browsing to the following two URLs by typing the following in the address line: http://localhost:8080/test3/a.iface http://localhost:8080/test3/a.iface;jsessionid=123 You will see that with Tomcat 6.0.32, that both pages will be served. For Tomcat 6.0.33, only the page without this specific path parameter will be served.
