Of course it is.

No need - XMLC already has builtin support for this. 

Default behaviour is to automatically rewrite URLs when needed (i.e. when the 
HTTP session indicates that the client has cookies turned off), but you can 
change this by setting the <context-param> named "xmlcSessionURLEncoding" in 
web.xml to the values "always" (always rewrite URLs) or "never" (does the 
obvious thing as well :-) See the javadocs for 
org.enhydra.xml.xmlc.servlet.XMLCContext for details.

By default, URLs are rewritten by calling HttpServletResponse.encodeURL(). 
This should do the right thing in a servlet environment, but if you have 
special needs, you can set a special URL rewrite handler by calling 
OutputOptions.setURLRewriter() prior to writing the page.

Hope this helps,
