Force the jsessionid on request dispatch

[julien1]

We need to know if we can force the servlet container to use a specific session id when we perform a request dispatch to a servlet context.

In a portable way or non portable way.

first solution, according to rémy :

1/ this is non portable and is an hack

2/ this can be accomplished using a wrapper that returns a session that returns the id we need to force.

[julien1]

another solution is to maintain a session on the client side using the soap layer.

Ok, so if you are dispatching to another context (otherwise, it won't work), you should:
- wrap the request
- have the wrapper override getSession
- the object returned should be your own HttpSession impl, which would return the desired session id as a result of its getId method

It probably works, but isn't going to work on other containers.
