--------------------------------------

No problem (esp since I did not document the feature). The default values are still in flux.

> JBoss Web 2.1.1.CR6 changed the path of the session cookie from being hardcoded to the root ("/") to that of the webapp's context (see org.apache.catalina.connector.Request configureSessionCookie).
> Normally it would be possible to override this and set the session cookies to always have a path of "/" by setting emptySessionPath="true" for the connector, but this is not implemented in JBossWeb (this does of course work fine with upstream Tomcat).
> The big issue here is that having an empty session path for session cookies is a requirement for portals, and since JBoss AS5 will be using this version it means that JBoss Portal (and any other portals) will not work with it.
