Our code is the same as yours. Our scenario is we set the username in the
cookie when the user logs in
Cookie cookie = new Cookie(Constants.REMEMBERME, username);
cookie.setVersion(1);
cookie.setMaxAge(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
response.addCookie(cookie);
When the user opens a new browser instance to log-in, we check for the
cookie to populate the username on the login page
Cookie cookies[] = request.getCookies();
String username = "";
for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
Cookie c = cookies[i];
if (c.getName().equals(Constants.REMEMBERME)) {
username = c.getValue();
break;
}
}
I open a new browser instance, log-in and the cookie is set. If I logout and
return to login screen (on the same browser instance) the cookie is found.
If I use a NEW browser instance to go to the login page, the REMEMBERME
cookie is NOT found. With the same code, we did not have this issue with
tomcat 5.0
Thanks,
Sushil

Subject: Re: Incorrect cookie value in tomcat5.5.26
what is your scenario,
the following code worked for me, even though the browser doesn't send
up cookie version
<%
javax.servlet.http.Cookie[] cs = request.getCookies();
String value = null;
for (Cookie co : cs) {
if ("test".equals(co.getName())) value = co.getValue();
}
javax.servlet.http.Cookie c = new
javax.servlet.http.Cookie("test","someemail=somedomain.com");
c.setVersion(1);
c.setMaxAge(1000000);
response.addCookie(c);
%>
done!<br/>
<%=value%>
