Hi All, any help solving this mystery is more than welcome:
problem summary: i am using the identical cookie setting and getting code on
different pages within WEBAPPS/ROOT, but second instance of setting and getting
cookies is causing undecipherable 500 error in Tomcat.
-paul.
i have an application in webapps/ROOT that uses cookies to keep track of user session
information.
within the same directory, i have added independent pages that also set cookies in
same manner, eg.
response.addCookie(new Cookie("ID", xID));
then the cookie name and value are retrieved as follows on separate page:
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
However, after adding additional cookie pages, whenever i try to submit additional
page that sets cookie, and then forwards to next page that retrieves cookie, i get
very long HTTP Status 500 error from
Apache Tomcat/4.1.27-LE-jdk14
part of which is as follows:
HTTP Status 500 -
