How can I get the Tomcat JSESSIONID on the client side?

Question

I want to get the JSESSIONID of Tomcat on the client side. Is that possible? If yes, how?

Thanks

This is the 2nd time that you asked a question which in real world should never be practiced. Honestly said, this all smells. What is it, the problem for which you think that getting the `HttpSession` associated with JSESSONID in server side and getting the JSESSIONID value in client side is "the" solution? Elaborate about this in a new question, you'll get answers how to do it the right way. — BalusC, Jun 22 '10 at 12:21

It depend on how is the JSESSIONID transmitted:

if it's as a session cookie, see how to obtain cookies with javascript
if it is in the URL, you can parse the document.location

However I don't see much of a reason to do so.

You need to give a ajax call to your server code like Spring controller or Servlets and get the response string as JSESSIONID and then store it in the javascript, only after your DOM is fully loaded .
