All is not lost. The cookie spec says that overlapping cookie names need to
be sent from most specific to least specific. But if you have the same cookie
name across many domains (foo.domain.com vs bar.domain.com) - then things get
a little ambiguous.

Thanks Tim,
I was trying to use the same cookiename for different paths in my
webapp, but since the path is not sent I just have to use different
cookienames.

getPath() in only useful for setting cookies. The browser only sends
the name /value pairing of the cookie back to you. It omits path and
expiration.

Hi all!
I'm making a filter that checks that my cookies are set, and sets
them if they are missing.
Code for setting cookie:
String path = request.getContextPath();
cookie = new Cookie(name, value);
cookie.setPath(path);
logger.debug("Setting cookie: " + cookie.getName() + ", " +
cookie.getPath());
response.addCookie(cookie);
Code for checking cookies:
String path = request.getContextPath();
for (Cookie c : cookies) {
String cName = c.getName();
String cPath = c.getPath();
logger.debug("Checking: " + cName + ", " + cPath);
}
When setting the cookie the Cookie.getPath() method returns the path
I have set. But when checking cookies all calls to Cookie.getPath()
returns null regardless of what path I have set. When viewing the
cookies in Firefox the path is the same as when I created the cookie.
