No. Tomcat will append the jsessionid parameter if the client has not
yet proven that Cookies will be sent back to the server. Usually, this
happens on the response to the first request, but not after any cookie
has had a round-trip to the client back to the server.

What do you mean "doesn't work"? You don't get the same session (you
should)? Or, you get the same session, but further URLs don't contain
the jsessionid parameter? If the latter is the case, then IE is simply
sending a cookie to Tomcat and therefore Tomcat knows that the session
id can be managed with a cookie and URL rewriting doesn't have to be done.

\No user agent checking, so there's nothing to disable.
