Since this is done before the HTML is processed, what you get is something like in the above example. As you have it below, with <% %>, you are not ever actually including the value of your encoded URL into your form. It's just a scriptlet, which will actually encode your URL, but to no avail, since it has no explicit String conversion or printout capabilities and thus won't be a part of your form. all the <%= response.encodeURL("/path/to/Servlet") %> is doing is rewriting your URL to include session data if cookies are not enabled. For a first shot at it, you might want to consider just building a set of tags like I included above and making sure that works (make sure you have cookies enabled, though!) After you have that working, it might be a lot easier to get your session encoding working, conceptually. What the leftover method="post"> signals to me is that somewhere you are closing the form tag before this part of it, i.e., that the browser encounters a > before it encounters method="post"> and thus assumes that the form tag has been completed and that method="post"> is regular text to be printed to the browser window.
