For reasons of sessions, I have to set the path of the cookies to "/"
You need to set the cookie path to "/" within your servlet
container. Otherwise, for a Cocoon mounted on /cocoon the cookie
path will be /cocoon, and the cookie will be ignored when it is
proxied from a URL without the /cocoon. Set the cookie path to / and
your problem will go away.
How can I do this in Tomcat 5 or is this in Cocoon ?
I actually think it _should_ be the job of whatever's doing the proxying
(Apache?) to translate the cookie paths, that way cookies could work
through the proxy and Tomcat could still keep cookies contained to the
servlet path.
Searching around a bit, it looks like if Apache 2.1 has the
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath directive for this purpose
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreversecookiepath)
but unfortunately 2.1 is still alpha so nobody's probably using it yet.
The docs for 2.0 don't have this directive unfortunately.
Searching a bit more it looks like Tomcat as of 5.5.4 has the ability to
set the path:
"Add the ability to force session cookies to be set to the root path
'/'. This should not be used on large servers, otherwise tons of
cookies may be sent. (remm)"
(from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/changelog.html)
...but I didn't find how exactly to invoke that feature.
Sorry this probably isn't very much of a help so far; I'll keep
searching around as I have time. I'm personally interested in the
answer as I'm going to be using a similar setup soon.
