Hi,

Im trying to use url rewriting (in this case ISAPI Redirect) to translate
a search engine friendly URL (ie xyz.com/123_keyword_product_name.html)
into a tomcat one (xyz.com/app/product.do?id=123). This all works fine
and dandy however there is a big problem with it. One of the uses I have
is to map tomcat applications to the root context as far as the URL is
concerned, but leave them under another context within tomcat itself.
I use a shared tomcat server for several applications so they cant all be
on the root, but reponses to search engines are a lot better if the URL
appears that way. The problem is that in the above example, the Tomcat
server responds with "Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=132456789; Path=/app". This
Path is of course that of the context path of the application. The
browser doesnt thus send this cookie with the next request because the
request appears to be to the / path; Tomcat thus gets a new request with
no session ID and issues another one again to /app.
Is there any way I can force the session cookie to be written to the root
context instead of the context of the application?

thanks
Pete Storey
