Thanks for all the insight guys. Apparently, they are encoding to get the Context prepended to the url, instead of using getContextPath. The name calling is because someone told them that the c:url tag is the new standard, so they used it everywhere. In other words, brain not engaged, but fingers working. In fact, having the context path prepended means I have to add an extra directory level for the static content on the HTTPD server. But yes, I don't see why the sessionid would be needed for any static content.
