Hi Stuart, I had some problems using the cookie taglib myself so I resorted to Java code in my XSP.
Here's a snippet of the code I use (works for me on Cocoon2b2) (very hacky - breaks the separation of concerns principle - I'll take another look at the taglib when I have time ;) <xsp:page language="java" xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp" xmlns:xsp-cookie="http://apache.org/xsp/cookie/2.0" xmlns:xsp-request="http://apache.org/xsp/request/2.0" xmlns:esql="http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/v2" xmlns:session="http://apache.org/xsp/session/2.0" > ... <xsp:structure> <xsp:include>org.apache.cocoon.environment.Cookie</xsp:include> </xsp:structure> ... <xsp:logic> Cookie[] user_cookies = <xsp-cookie:getCookies/>; Cookie user_cookie = null; if (user_cookies != null) { <![CDATA[ for (int i = 0; i < user_cookies.length; i++) ]]> { if (user_cookies[i].getName().equals("test_cookie")) { user_cookie = user_cookies[i]; <!-- cookie was found --> } } } ... Hope this helps, Best Regards, Chris PS. Shall we take this to the cocoon-users mailing list as there may be other users with solutions to this problem ? -----Original Message----- From: Stuart Roebuck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 December 2001 11:22 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [C2] [Bug?] Cookies missing from environment Chris, Thanks for the rapid response... Looking at the Cocoon log the "HEADER PARAMETERS" of the request display the cookie: > HEADER PARAMETERS: > > PARAM: 'cookie' VALUES: '[JSESSIONID=D29143D183239003153020F4A5F020A1; > testcookie=31]' > ^^ > ^^^^^^^^^^^ so it's getting there, but seems to be getting no further. I'm surprised if I'm the first person to find this, which is why I reckon I must be doing something brain-dead. Stuart.
