I am have some problems with java httpsession after I starting to use the RewriteEngine. since I turned it on the code is creating a new session each time instead of using the previously created one. I am sure some one must have used this before and got it working, can you have a look at the simple sample I created and let me know what I need to change.

thanks.

request.getCookies() is returning null. for just the session.

request.getContextPath /SessionTest
request.getRequestURI() /SessionTest/page
request.getRequestURL() http://www.stest.p100/SessionTest/page

if I create cookie by hand it shows on the jsp page. getCookies finds it.
Cookie userCookie = new Cookie("user", "uid1234");
((HttpServletResponse) response).addCookie(userCookie);

Adding in ask to set cookies in the browser the Session path is /SessionTest, and the hand make cookies path is /

So how do I get the HttpSession to not add the /SessionTest?
