RE: Cookie creation bug (?) for servlet-including jsp files
Sounds like the flush=true is committing the response stream before you add teh cookie. This is not a bug. You have to add cookies before ANY part of the response is sent to the browser. -mike -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ostroff, Mike Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2001 7:03 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Cookie creation bug (?) for servlet-including jsp files I am working on a web-app (powered by Orion 1.4.5) that uses a jsp page with several Java servlets included within it that do the more complex computations. The jsp file has lines like: "jsp:include page="/servlet/ExampleServlet" flush="true" /" that load the servlets. This does a request on the servlet and inserts the HTML they return at the include point. The problem is that in one of the servlets I am trying to create some cookies using the standard HttpServletResponse.addCookie(new Cookie(name, val)) code. If I run the servlet directly without embedding it in a jsp file then the cookies get created just fine. But when I try to execute the servlet from within the jsp file, then the cookies do not get created, even though I know that the addCookie() method is being reached and executed. This same jsp and servlet combination worked and created the cookies without problems when run under Allaire's JRun 2.3. Is this an Orion bug? And can anyone think of a work around that won't involve massive changes to how the code is organized? - Mike

If I run the servlet directly without embedding do you think this might have something to do with the output of the JSP being committed (and thus the HTTP headers already being sent) by the time you do the jsp include of your servlet? it in a jsp file then the cookies get created just fine. But when I try to execute the servlet from within the jsp file, then the cookies do not get created, even though I know that the addCookie() method is being reached and executed. This same jsp and servlet combination worked and created the cookies without problems when run under Allaire's JRun 2.3. perhaps JRUN has a bigger output buffer for jsp's than orion?
