Hi Chuck,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I have a small doubt here. If I am encoding this code in the URL and
the session terminates and the exception is catched in
handleSessionRestoration... method will I be able to retrieve the code
back. As per my knowledge it will create a new request-response loop
and my encoded URl will be gone. Please clarify.
You can get it from context().request(). The exception is handled in
the same R-R loop, not a new one.

You don't have a whole lot of choices here. HTTP only sends three
things:
1. The URL, which may contain form values
2. The headers, which would contain cookies
3. The content in the case of a posted form
Which comes down to either cookies or form values on the URL. As you
can't use cookies, you will have to encode the needed state into the
URL.
