defaultSessionCookieID
The defaultSessionCookieID build descriptor option identifies the session cookie provided by a service. The default value is JSESSIONID, which is always the session ID when your application runs on Apache Tomcat.
The setting of defaultSessionCookieID is
meaningful only in the following case:
- The service logic in this case is stateful, which means that the requester and service can participate in a multistep conversation.
- The service is an EGL external type that makes an IBM® i called program or service program available as an EGL REST-RPC service.
You can override the value of defaultSessionCookieID by
setting sessionCookieID in the service binding:
- When you declare a service-access variable, as described in Declaring a variable to access a REST service; or
- When you configure the deployment descriptor, as described in Adding a REST binding to the deployment descriptor.
