removing session id from URL

[Robin John]

hi friends,

The issue is i am getting a jsessionid=salkfjlsjfljslfjlsf attached to the url for the first time when i load my page.
How to avoid that without dealing with cookies :(

Thanks in advance.

<%@ page session="false" %>

i tried that in my jsp, it wont work :(

anyways, i am redirecting to the url using java.net.URLEncoder.encode();

and docs say it will attach the session ID to the url if the cookies are not turned on.. :( i turned on the cookies to.. that wont work also :( HELP !!
