Hi I am adding some additional functionality to something that someone did who has left the company. He was using Web Macros under tomcat (webapps/application/WEB-INFO: code, templates, etc).
He has something called login.html which uses a login.java compiled program to set a cookie (response.addCookie( "UserLevel", "value") ) which adds a cookie called UserLevel with a value retrieved from logging in. His other java code does a request.getCookies() and goes through the cookies to find "UserLevel" from which he then gets the values. I am adding on in JSP (rather than web macros). I can't really rewrite what he did. I have the user go to his login page and login, and then type the url of my jsp (which is under the same application as the above, but under jsp). My code does the same thing, does getCookies[] and looks for "UserLevel". Problem is, it does not find it. When I do the Edit->Preferences->"Show Cookies", UserLevel is there with the correct value, but all my java jsp code can find is the session ID. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, or how I can get the recently-added cookie? I am using firefox. Directories (under/root/tomcat/webapps/<name_of_application>): WEB-INF web information --Code Java code --Classes Compiled Java Code --templates web macros html html files jsp jsp files Thanks Tony
