How to disable session tracking

How do I stop Jetty from keeping track of sessions? Even if I do not use the session object anywhere and add page session="false" to each and every JSP, Jetty still insists on creating cookies. While this isn't so much of an issue on the large, it does interfere with my grand caching scheme...

I was under the impression that this was an unfortunate side-effect of Jasper/JSPs...

Are you implying that this does not happen with Tomcat ?

Jetty itself will only create a session if you are using FORM authentication. Thus I assume that it is a bug/feature in jasper.

If you can tell me the version of Jetty (or JBoss) you are using, confirm that you are not using FORM authentication
and send me a JSP in the style you are using, then I'll see if I can workout who/what is doing this.

I use JBoss 3.0.1. Wasn't able to reproduce this behavior anymore. But I do remember seeing jsessionid in some HTTP headers, even though I do not use any kind of authentication... Anyways, I'll complain again if the problem should reappear. Thanks!
