The first time you access some web app (REST servlet in this case), the session will be created by the server and a unique id will be associated to it. You'll get that info as a jsessionid (usually in a cookie) in a response to your request. For subsequent calls you have an option to pass that session id either in a cookie or as a URL parameter, but first you have to extract it.
That's how session works and there is nothing we can do about it. So I think it would be easier for clients not supporting cookies to specifically define a consumer id and avoid using sessions at all.
