persistance using Jsession ID

You might also consider inserting the jsession ID into a custom HTTP header rather than tacking it on to the end of the URI. In any case, have a look at the following:

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/Weblogic_JSessionID_Persistence.html.

A method for persisting on jsessionids that are set in cookies could be as simple as:

 
    when HTTP_REQUEST {     
        if { [HTTP::cookie exists "JSESSIONID"] } {     
           persist uie [HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"]     
        }  
     }     
     when HTTP_RESPONSE {     
        if { [HTTP::cookie exists "JSESSIONID"] } {     
           persist add uie [HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"]    
        }     
     } 
 

You'd need to grab the value of the cookie and append it to the URI in a way that would make sense to your apps (a name-value pair in a query string, I'm guessing?)

JQ

With jsessionid's, shouldn't the application detect whether the client supports cookies and insert the jsessionid in the URI's if the client doesn't support cookies?
