Hello Filip,
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Our scenario is:
We set the username in the cookie when the user logs in. I open a new
browser instance, log-in and the cookie is set. If I logout of the
application and return to login screen (on the same browser instance) the
cookie is found.
PROBLEM:
If I use a NEW browser instance to go to the login page, the cookie is NOT
found.
On login submit, we set the cookie -
Cookie cookie = new Cookie(Constants.REMEMBERME, username);
cookie.setVersion(1);
cookie.setMaxAge(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
response.addCookie(cookie);
On requesting the login page, we check if the cookie was set -
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();//Set username in the login field
break;
}
}
This code did not have an issue with tomcat 5.0
Thanks,
Sushil

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%>

Hello,
cookie.setVersion(1) remembers the cookie only for the browser session. A
new browser does not have access to the cookie
We did cookie.setMaxAge(Integer.MAX_VALUE) but that doesn't help.
Any thoughts please?
Thanks,

not broken, corrected. the java doc says
setValue
public void *setValue*(String
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5/docs/api/java/lang/String.html> newValue)
Assigns a new value to a cookie after the cookie is created. If you
use a binary value, you may want to use BASE64 encoding.
With Version 0 cookies, values should not contain white space,
brackets, parentheses, equals signs, commas, double quotes, slashes,
question marks, at signs, colons, and semicolons. Empty values may
not behave the same way on all browsers.
*Parameters:*
|newValue| - a |String| specifying the new value
to fix this, all you need to do is
cookie.setVersion(1);

I guess the cause is the same as for tomcat 6.0.16.
See messages entitles "Cookies are broken in 6.0.16?".
