****************************************************************
<jsp:forward> doesn't work if the jsessionid is at the end of
the URL after the querystring, resulting in a 500 Internal
Server eror with a StringArrayIndexOutofBoundsException -1
Problem conclusion
<jsp:forward> doesn't work if the jsessionid is at the end of
the URL after the querystring, resulting 500 Internal Server
error with a StringArrayIndexOutofBoundsException -1.  The
parsing mechanism of the jsessionid has been changed so that
it looks at the end of the URL rather than at the begining,
when querystring is present.
