Session Management using encodeURL()

[Dash Abhisek]

Hi All,

I was going through session management using encodeURL()
I have doubt regarding encodeURL
scenario:-
I have a login page where the user enters his name and password and in its action attribute I have used encodeurl() and the parameter I passed is the target servlet's name.
In the target servlet I am just dispatching the request to a jsp where I am asking the user to add some additional info about him after displaying
what he has entered in the first page.

Do I need to obtain a session(using getsession()) and use encodeurl in the servlet and pass the jsp to be hit as parameter or I have to get the id(getId())after getting the session object and write something like the undermentioned code in the servlet:-

HttpSession sn=req.getSession();
String append=sn.getId();
RequestDispatcher rd=req.getRequestDispatcher("/pages/test.jsp"+";jsessionid="+append);
rd.forward(req,res);

Thanks,
Abhisek

You need not append the sessionid, encodeURL() will do it for you.
