Does URL Rewriting work with GnuJSP?

["Milind Rao" <milindr@bellsouth.net>]

I'm using vqserver with GnuJSP and am trying to get URL Rewriting to 
work without any success.

It works fine with servlets, but not with JSPs and servlets.  Does 
URL rewriting work with JSPs?

This is what I'm doing

x.jsp has a reference to a servlet x.java
    ...
    <a href="/servlet/x">ID</a>
    ...


The service() method of x.java has the following

    HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
    ...
    session.putValue("id", new String("foo"));
    RequestDispatcher dispatch = getServletContext().
              getRequestDispatcher("/jsp/y.jsp");
    dispatch.forward(request, response);


y.jsp has a reference to a servlet y.java
    ...
    <a href=<%= response.encodeURL("/servlet/y")%>>Details</a>
    ...


The service() method of y.java has the following

    HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
    ...
    String id = (String)session.getValue("id")

But I lose the session created in the servlet x.

I have tried changing 
    RequestDispatcher dispatch = getServletContext().
              getRequestDispatcher("/jsp/y.jsp");

to 
    RequestDispatcher dispatch = getServletContext().
              getRequestDispatcher(response.encodeURL("/jsp/y.jsp"));

but that didn't work.

I get the session created in the servlet x in y.jsp.  But I lose it between y.jsp and the 
servlet y.

Am I doing something wrong here?

If I try to do all the rendering in the servlets without using jsps, URW Rewriting works just 
fine between the x.java and y.java servlets.

Any pointers?
