thanks for the good suggestion Chris - that is what exactly I am looking for. I tried it and got part that involves reading the cookie from the Request and setting a request object (easy part though). I seem to have problems implementing the HttpServletResponseWrapper to collect the response from the resource and process it to add my cookie into it before returning it back to the tomcat.
Do you by any chance have any sample code on how to do that ? For some reason my response wrapper doesn't contain any data when I try to read the data after the chain.doFilter(req, myres) method. I am wondering if I am missing anything. I even went through the tutorial @ http://www.orionserver.com/tutorials/filters/3.html#stream-1 - but couldn't even get their working :-/ thanks for your help -Praveem Christopher Schultz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Tim, > >> With the functionality you desire, stay away from the Session classes as >> defined in the servlet API. > >I completely agree. > >> Instead, look into Filters and HttpServletRequestWrapper and >> HttpServletResponse wrapper. >> >> Ideally, you'd create some helper classes which do the gets and sets on >> the servletrequests and responses.
