jsp & struts, url rewrite problem

Hi,

I'm using jsp & struts to build my menu. I'm using url rewrite (html:rewrite) for building my url's. When my users are blocking cookies automaticly a session id is added to the url like this:
/iwt/algemeen/brochures.jsp;jsessionid=A6C2740FE57FAF195DE34027B96DA3AB?topNav=student

My problem is that the menu system recognizes the ; as the end of the url and so the session id and other information is lost when a user uses the menu.

Is there a workaround for this problem?

Johan

Run your URL thru HttpServletResponse.encodeURL() and let is escape all of the special-character nastiness.

I only work on the front-end but it was suggested to me to replace & with ; in urls, appears to me here that neither is perfect. Can anyone tell me is ; really better?

TIA
