RE: using tiles and setting a cookie

[David G. Friedman]

Have you tried it without the domain setting to ensure that your chosen domain 
of ".mysite.com" isn't interfering with
the cookie handoff?  There is the possibility that the browser is configured to 
accept anything other than the exact
hostname, though you have probably looked into that and tried that already.  I 
made that suggestion since I've
previously read of problems like that on this list.

Regards,
David

I was unaware of that actually. But, even outside of the debugger the
cookie isn't seen on the client side. And it isn't seen on the next
request. Here's some of the code -

In the controller class (it's an abstract class):

public void execute(ComponentContext componentContext,
HttpServletRequest request,
                        HttpServletResponse response, ServletContext
servletContext) throws Exception {
        Object someObj=
someAbstractMethod(componentContext,request,response,servletContext);
        // set a cookie
        Cookie cookie = new Cookie("cookieName","cookieValue");
        cookie.setDomain(".mysite.com");
        cookie.setMaxAge(-1);
        response.addCookie(cookie);
    }

Later on, in another request, I try to get the cookie using -

Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies()

But my new cookie is nowhere to be found. As I said in the original
post, in my application it's working fine when I set the cookies in
Actions, but not in Controllers.
