i have heard that
servlet specification says cookie name must be jsessionid and not other than this.
but i have seen some website use some other thing other than jsessionid to identify the same thing for ex. www.irctc.co.in here i have seen some thing like
?BV_SessionID=@@@@0178584902.1242489912@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccdadehfhemfghcefecehidfhfdfko.0
looks like BV_SessionID is same as we have jsessionid.
My question is can we replece the "jsessionid" with and value
what could be the significance of BV_EngineID ..is it some thing related to multiple servers and distributed engines that serve the request .
