John,
I had a similar problem, which seem to be resovled by explicitly setting
the path of the cookie to "/" before adding it to the response.
Cookie userCookie = new Cookie("U_ID", userId);
userCookie.setMaxAge(946080000);
userCookie.setPath("/");
httpResp.addCookie(userCookie);
After reading the Servlet docs, it seems the behaviour for setting a
cookie without first setting it's path is undefinded. I've found that
with Tomcat, new Cookies use the current URL of the request instead of
the "/" when a path is not specified. I also believe there may have been
a few bugs with previous versions of Tomcat and Cookies which have been
resolved with newer versions.
Hope this helps,
~Scott
