Configure session tracking for Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) devices
Applications that run in a Web container use sessions to keep track of individual users. Because most Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) devices do not support cookies, you can configure WAP devices to use URL rewriting to track sessions.
Overview
On most WAP devices, the maximum URL length is 128 characters. With URL rewriting, a session identifier is added to the URL itself, effectively decreasing the space available for the actual URL and the number of parameters that can be sent on a request.
To reduce the length of session identifier, you can configure key (jsessionid), session ID length and clone ID. To make these configuration changes, complete the following steps.
Procedure
- Open the console.
- Click Servers > Application Servers>server_instanceWeb Container Settings > Web container.
- Under Additional Properties, click Custom Properties.
- Add the appropriate properties from the following list:
- HttpSessionIdLength
- SessionRewriteIdentifier
- HttpSessionCloneId
- CloneSeparatorChange
- NoAdditionalSessionInfo
- SessionIdentifierMaxLength
- Click Apply and Save.
