How can I get the Tomcat JSESSIONID on the client side?

Question

Hi Guys

I want to get the JSESSIONID of Tomcat on the client side. Is that possible? If yes, how?

Thanks

Answer 1

It depend on how is the JSESSIONID transmitted:

• if it's as a session cookie, see how to obtain cookies with javascript
• if it is in the URL, you can parse the document.location

However I don't see much of a reason to do so.
