Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server 4.0 users of    *
*                 multiple JSESSIONID cookies.                 *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Only part of the JSESSIONID name is     *
*                      matched to pick up the session          *
*                      information.                            *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When JSESSIONID and JSESSIONID_302 are used for two different
session IDs, the plugin code only matches the beginning part of
the cookie name for session affinity.  This could result in the
wrong session id.
Problem conclusion
Modified the plugin code to match the full JSESSIONID cookie
for session affinity.
