Summary:
   URL Rewriting fix (jsessionid): Fixes double encoding of redirect URLs and rewriting of URLs in portlets that do not have a session
 
Problem Description:
   This fix addresses two URL Rewriting-related issues:
   -  Redirect URLs are double encoded (i.e. they contain two "jsessionid" strings). Note that this problem only occurs on WAS levels < 6.0.2.11
   -  URLs generated in portlets are not properly rewritten if the portlet itself has no session. However the jsessionid has to be appended
      even in that case as the generated URLs typically point to the portal servlet.
      Without this fix the portal session gets lost every time the user clicks on a portlet URL that does not contain a jsessionid.
   
 
Problem Solution:
   Provided that URL rewriting is enabled, this fix makes sure that each URL generated within a portlet is properly rewritten with the
   jsessionid (if a portal session exists). The jsessionid is appended even if the portlet web application itself has no session. This
   is required as portlet URLs point to the portal servlet.
   Fix also makes sure that redirect URLs are not encoded twice.
