Hi Sri, Thanks for your reply. I set the session cookie from server this.getThreadLocalResponse().addCookie(new Cookie("sid",sessId)); >From the browser, I am able to see the cookie named "sid". However, on the client side, I check the cookie list, and the "sid" is missing Collection<String> cookies = Cookies.getCookieNames(); Iterator it = cookies.iterator(); while(it.hasNext()) { System.out.println((String)it.next()); } What happens?
