Hi, I've read through all the postings, and I don't see this issue covered (except for one that's potentially related which i noted later). Hopefully that means this is a silly user-error on my part and someone can quickly sort me out. :-)
We recently moved FROM: Solaris 2.6 server running apache 1.3.26, jdk1.3.1-b24, cocoon 2.0.3, Tomcat 3.2.1 TO: Solaris 2.7 (don't ask why - 9 is in the pipeline (-:), jdk1.3.1_07, cocoon 2.0.3 (ie same version), and Catalina 4.1.18 Everything has gone smoothly for the most part, except one issue. We have written an action which dynamically determines the name of the stylesheet to apply. This action looks at the cookies within the request to determine if the cookie exists to display this tylesheet. This was (and still is) working fine on our old server; but does not work in the new environment because there are no cookies returned. Example snippet of relevant code from our action class : public Map act (Redirector redirector, SourceResolver resolver, Map objectModel, String source, Parameters params) { //Get the request component from sitemap components // NOTE: Tried ObjectModelHelper and objectModel.get /* Request request = (Request) objectModel.get(Constants.REQUEST_OBJECT); Request request = (Request) objectModel.get("request");*/ Request request = ObjectModelHelper.getRequest(objectModel); //Get an array of the client cookies Cookie[] cArr = request.getCookies(); Cookie c = null; String VAL_RID = ""; if (cArr != null) { for (int q=0;q<cArr.length;q ++) { c = (Cookie) cArr[q]; //cookie found so set contain user to true //check is it user cookie or not if (c.getName().equals(RESELLER_COOKIE)) { VAL_RID = c.getValue(); } } } For some reason, the array of cookies (cArr in this example) is coming back null. We do not see the cookies even though they are there. We use this exact same code from within our xsp page, except as you are aware, the request is available from within the xsp page so we don't have to "retrieve" the request. The cookies are available from within the xsp (on both the old and the new server) but not from within the action code. For a given request, both code sets are called, and the cookies are seen in the xsp page but not in the action. The only post I saw remotely related to this was around catalina sessions. We are not using sessions, but the post said that if the session is picked up by catalina before the cookies, the cookies are dropped. This wouldn't explain why the cookies are available from within the xsp but not the action, but just thought I'd make a mention. Any ideas you might have will be greatly appreciated. tia, cass __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
