[Tutorial] How to change Tomcat 7 JSESSIONID

 

apache tomcat 7

Tomcat uses JSESSIONID as a default cookie name. And if we want to change this cookie name or customize cookie name ourselves, we have to follow the steps below.

1-) Open content.xml file which is located in {your tomcat7 root}\conf

2-) Find the <Context> part on your content.xml file.

3-) Change the sessionCookieName=”MyCookie” as you want to see.

<Context sessionCookieName="MyCookie">

    <!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
    <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>

    <!-- Uncomment this to disable session persistence across Tomcat restarts -->
    <!--
    <Manager pathname="" />
    -->

    <!-- Uncomment this to enable Comet connection tacking (provides events
         on session expiration as well as webapp lifecycle) -->
    <!--
    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.CometConnectionManagerValve" />
    -->

</Context>

4-) Save the content.xml and restart tomcat server.
