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?

(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. -Tim Chetan Chheda wrote: > Thanks Tim and Chuck. > Tim, > Is this something a novice programmer like me can add to our Footer.jsp >file?
