So, I take Alex's question to be something like this:
"I want to set a cookie in an action and have that key/value be recognized
*both* in the immediately succeeding screen and in future sessions. I have
the future sessions part handled (cookies), but I can't figure out the
immediate screen part."
I am not a highly experienced Turbine user, so there might be a better way,
but I have sent key/value pairs from actions to screens using
data.getParameters().add("key","value").
E.G.
//Action
public void doIncrease(RunData data, Context, context)
throws Exception
{
int newFontSize = oldFontSize + 2;
CookieParser cp = data.getCookies();
cp.set("fontsize",newFontSize );
data.getParameters().add("fontsize",newFontsize);
data.setScreenTemplate( "NextTemplate.vm" );
}
I can then access "fontsize" in the NextTemplate screen using
data.getParameters().toInt("fontsize",1);
You will probably have to play with your screens to attempt getting the
value from the cookie, and then the data parameters if the cookie fails. I
haven't ever had to use cookies, so I am inexperienced in that area.
Hope this helps,
Chris

Hi Alex,
that is precisely what is happening. Is the CookieParser which I retrieve in
the
screen class not the same as the one which I manipulated in the action
class?
