how can i do sessions in java if some one disables cookies in my browser?

Question

I like to know if someone disables the cookies in my browser then cookies dont work for my browser then how can I do sessions in java. I am writing servlets for server side

Answer 1

If cookies are disabled, you can still maintain sessions by sending the value of JSESSIONID as a query parameter, like:

http://www.mywebsite.com/somePage?JSESSIONID=389729387392

Keep in mind that if security is a primary concern then you may not want to use this approach, as it puts the session id right into the url.
