I had to add   
<%= request.getSession().getId()%> 
for it to display the sessionId. 

Tim, 
 
 Can you elaborate on what the side effects would be to display the full 
sessionId as compared to just the session route?

The snippet I post was the snippet.  (if you are using jsp) But it can have 
security side effects. A safer snippet might be this:


<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions"; prefix="fn" %>
${(fn:split(pageContext.session.id, 
'.')[fn:length(fn:split(pageContext.session.id, '.'))-1])}

Which splits the session id apart by '.' and typically - the last part of the 
session is the jvmroute (aka the server which served the request)

Anyone with knowledge of JSTL should have no problem incorporating the above 
snippet. If you have trouble with the above - seek a trusted consultant for 
help. The money will be well spent.
