      1. Start WildFly (this issue happens with both standalone.xml and standalone-ha.xml)
      2. Deploy a web app having the following JSP:
        <%
        out.println("request.getRequestedSessionId() = " + request.getRequestedSessionId());
        out.println("request.isRequestedSessionIdValid() = " + request.isRequestedSessionIdValid());
        out.println("session.getId() = " + session.getId());
        %>
        
      3. Send a request to the JSP with a non-existent session id like:
        $ curl -v -H "Cookie: JSESSIONID=test" http://localhost:8080/test/example.jsp

    Description

      When a client sends a request with a non-existent session id to a web application calling "HttpServletRequest#getRequestedSessionId()" or "HttpServletRequest#isRequestedSessionIdValid()", WildFly responds with an incorrect JSESSIONID response cookie reusing the requested non-existent session id even though a new session id is internally generated.

      a simple reproducer
      <%
      out.println("request.getRequestedSessionId() = " + request.getRequestedSessionId());
      out.println("request.isRequestedSessionIdValid() = " + request.isRequestedSessionIdValid());
      out.println("session.getId() = " + session.getId());
      %>
      

      The following is an example result. WildFly should not respond with "Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=test.node1" but should respond with a new session id like "Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=brzJWBXpBnUZelcwnI9HCEbw9X6d0oQ5PypfiwML.node1" in this case.

      $ curl -v http://node1:8080/test/example.jsp -H "Cookie: JSESSIONID=test"
      ...
      > GET /test/example.jsp HTTP/1.1
      > User-Agent: curl/7.29.0
      > Host: node1:8080
      > Accept: */*
      > Cookie: JSESSIONID=test
      >
      < HTTP/1.1 200 OK
      < Connection: keep-alive
      < X-Powered-By: JSP/2.3

      request.getRequestedSessionId() = test
      request.isRequestedSessionIdValid() = false
      session.getId() = brzJWBXpBnUZelcwnI9HCEbw9X6d0oQ5PypfiwML
      

      WildFly "CodecSessionConfig#findSessionId()" is invoked from Undertow "HttpServletRequestImpl#getRequestedSessionId() and isRequestedSessionIdValid()" to obtain the request session id.

      In "CodecSessionConfig#findSessionId()", WildFly checks if the reencoded session id is changed or not (= if an instance-id /jvmRoute information is changed or not), then invokes "this.config.setSessionId(exchange, reencodedSessionId)" to reset session id. Encoding a non-existent session always results in the different reencoded session id, therefore "this.config.setSessionId(exchange, reencodedSessionId)" is always invoked and this issue happens in this scenario.
