I am having a strange problem with my login system that runs on Tomcat.
Here is what's happening:
User requests a resource. Each page includes a .jsp that checks to see if
they are logged. If they are, they get the resource. If not, I use
<jsp:forward> to send them to the login page.
The login page posts data to another .jsp. This .jsp checks their
credentials against the database. If they are correct a cookie is created,
they original resource loads. If not, they get the login screen again.
My problem is that the first time a user submits from the login HTML page to
the login.jsp page, the cookie isn't set. I can see that the other code
around it executes and no messages are generated by Tomcat... If I click
refresh and repost the form data, the cookie is displayed.
Am I doing something wrong? Can a page read a cookie from the browser if the
cookie was set by the page that forwarded to the requested resource?
Any help is appreciated.
