Well for a start you should not use html:link for javascript links! (only
for real links!)
html:link's (primary) purpose is to ensure that the jsessionid is added to a
href url if cookies are disabled (or on the first page). Obviously that
functionality is hardly applicable for a javascript link where the href isnt
a url.

Hi Niko and all other guys,

is there any way in struts to avoid this URL rewriting.

Actually jsessionid is also appended with the link with which i am
submitting the form.
have a look on code:
Original code is:
<html:link href="javascript:login()" styleClass="button">Login</html:link>

But when i run application(first time):
<html:link href="javascript:login();jsessionid;7568975745"
styleClass="button">Login</html:link>

How can i get rid of this thing

On first request, a session is created. Tomcat (or any other servlet
container) wan use two mecanism to handle sessions
: cookies or URL rewriting (add a ";jsessionid=...").

Preference is for cookies, because it doesn't need to change URLs in pages,
but on first request, Tomcat has no way to
know if the browser accepts cookies, so it needs to rewrite URLs AND put a
setCookie header.

If next request have cookie, URL rewriting is not mandatory anymore.

URL rewriting is done when encoding URL using response.encodeUrl(). Struts
is compliant with J2EE and calls this method
in jsp tags for every URL it has to render.

If you don't want such URL to be shown in user browser, you should use a
redirect on your first action.
