According to the given scenario, in my opinion URL Rewriting is best. Due to
following reasons: In case of hidden form field extra form submission is required on each page this is a big overhead there can be tempered creating a security hole the session cannot be maintained with the static documents email document bookmark documents for browser shutdown. On the other hand, URL rewriting is most suitable in our requirement application because it will always work whether cookies is disabled or not. Extra form submission is not required on each page which is demand for our application so my preference is according to the situation is URL rewriting.
