How does one get "SessionID=" to automagically appear on an URL?

  • I’m going through “Dec’s” XPages tutorials on his blog, and his sample application includes SessionID= on his URLs, where mine does not. This was downloaded and runs from the same server, so it must be a database-level setting, but properties show mine and the sample are identical. I’ve wandered through all the design I can find as well and have found nothing, I’ve searched the web, help, and the forum to no avail. I’m sure it’s something childishly simple that I’m missing, but I’m missing it so thoroughly I have no clue how to find it.- Could someone clue me on that childishly simple thing? Thanks!..

Subject: It’s being added by the servlet engine, not the application

I have been researching this as well and have learned that the SessionID isn’t needed for the application to function, but it appears right at the beginning of a session with an XPages application before the servlet engine is sure that the cookies it is setting are being set. You can’t, and don’t need, to control this via database properties or other settings. But, the reason I’m researching this is because there are some cases, like with files attached to a page in an XPages application, where the extra &SessionID parameter can cause the file attachment syntax to break.

Subject: Remove &SessionID

Did you find anything to control the addition (or preferable removal) of &SessionID for every link?
