Hi,

I would like to know what are the other alternative ways to do the work without cookies.

Is there any best ways to implement the application without cookies?


Thanks,

Use session or session id

Yes. URL rewriting. There are several API functions in J2EE to handle URL rewriting.

However, unlike cookies, rewritten URLs are pretty fragile. If someone manually types in a URL, they probably won't type in the extra information relating to the session (and if they type as bad as I do, they'll probably get it wrong). Cookies are handled automatically, and they can be given a specific lifespan.

Hidden fields on Forms work just fine as an alternative to cookies.

Naturally you must ensure that every new request is a POST from a Form.

session(HttpSession) will be the most secure option ...

session stuff is different from cookies. For session tracking purposes, we use cookies, URL rewriting and SSL connections. Don't confuse session with cookies. session are maintained in server side and the cookies are maintained in the client side!

Yes we use cookie to track session.

so its better to use URLRewriting instead of cookie for session tracking
