Hello Filip,
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Our scenario is:
We set the username in the cookie when the user logs in. I open a new
browser instance, log-in and the cookie is set. If I logout of the
application and return to login screen (on the same browser instance) the
cookie is found.
PROBLEM:
If I use a NEW browser instance to go to the login page, the cookie is NOT
found.
On login submit, we set the cookie -
Cookie cookie = new Cookie(Constants.REMEMBERME, username);
cookie.setVersion(1);
cookie.setMaxAge(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
response.addCookie(cookie);
On requesting the login page, we check if the cookie was set -
Cookie cookies[] = request.getCookies();
String username = "";
for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
Cookie c = cookies[i];
if (c.getName().equals(Constants.REMEMBERME)) {
username = c.getValue();//Set username in the login field
break;
}
}
This code did not have an issue with tomcat 5.0
Thanks,
Sushil

what is your scenario,
the following code worked for me, even though the browser doesn't send
up cookie version
<%
javax.servlet.http.Cookie[] cs = request.getCookies();
String value = null;
for (Cookie co : cs) {
if ("test".equals(co.getName())) value = co.getValue();
}
javax.servlet.http.Cookie c = new
javax.servlet.http.Cookie("test","someemail=somedomain.com");
c.setVersion(1);
c.setMaxAge(1000000);
response.addCookie(c);
%>
done!<br/>
<%=value%>
