If you wish to see struts' cookies in the browser - then the easiest way is
to use Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org/). After browsing your struts app
then use the following mechanism to find the cookie that is being used:
Moz:
Edit... Preferences...
Privacy & Security / Cookies
Select "Manage Stored Cookies"
Look for the site, e.g. "localhost", "www.domain.tld"
There should be a cookie named "JSESSIONID" - click on it to see the session
id
More info on "per session" cookies
--
IE does not seem to save the cookie to disk as the cookie is a "per session"
cookie. A "per session" cookie is a cookie that is only valid for the
current session - distinguished from a non-"per session" cookie by the fact
a "per session" cookie does not have an "EXPIRES" attribute.
See the following output from nc
(http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/network_utilities/) that makes this
clearer:
1) Output from a site with a "per session" cookie:
--
X:\>nc 127.0.0.1 8081
GET /index.jsp HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html;ISO-8859-1
Connection: close
Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2003 12:04:34 GMT
Server: Apache Tomcat/4.0.6 (HTTP/1.1 Connector)
Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=5BF64BD681D362A1962D81AF7A3B4362;Path=/
2) Output from a site with a NON-"per session" cookie:
--
X:\>nc java.sun.com 8081
GET / HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/6.0
Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2003 15:09:16 GMT
Content-type: text/html
Cache-control: no-cache="set-cookie"
Set-Cookie: SUN_ID=12.34.56.78:1615:1061046556:19410; EXPIRES=Wednesday,
31-Dec-2025 23:59:59 GMT; DOMAIN=.sun.com; PATH=/
Note the addition of the "EXPIRES" information in the second example that
will indicate to the browser that this is _not_ a "per session" cookie. The
latter will be visible in the IE; the former will not. Mozilla will display
both in the "Manage Stored Cookies" window.
