I had a difficult time too, but then it turned out that I was testing using
"localhost", which doesn't work for cookies, at least not on Mac OSX. I
tried 127.0.0.1, and everything worked just fine.
Here are some of my cookie methods (in a superclass). Note: in Scala, but I
can get the idea.
def getCookie(name: String): Option[String] = {
val cookies = getRequest().getCookies()
cookies.getFirstValue(COOKIE_NAME) match {
case value: String => Some(value)
case _ => None
}
}
def getDomain(): String =
getRequest().getHostRef().getHostDomain()
def setCookie(value: String): Unit = {
val hash = value
val cookie = new CookieSetting(0, COOKIE_NAME, hash, "/", getDomain())
getResponse().getCookieSettings().add(cookie)
}
def unsetCookie(): Unit = {
val cookie = new CookieSetting(0, COOKIE_NAME, null, "/", getDomain())
cookie.setMaxAge(0)
getResponse().getCookieSettings().add(cookie)
}
I spend many hours trying to get this to work before I discovered that
"localhost" was the issue. You might be able to fix it with a change to
/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
But I changed it by adding a filter that redirects all requests from
localhost to 127.0.0.1.
class LocalhostRedirect extends Filter {
// Redirect incoming requests from "localhost" to
// "127.0.0.1" so that cookies will work properly.
override
def beforeHandle(request: Request, response:Response): Int = {
def url = request.getOriginalRef().toString
if (! url.contains("localhost"))
return Filter.CONTINUE
def location = url.replace("localhost", "127.0.0.1")
response.redirectTemporary(location)
Filter.STOP
}
}
Again with the Scala.
Hope at least some of this helps!
