Cookie not being set

[Andromeda Mobile]

Hi all

I’m running two web apps off a single instance of Tomcat 6.0.1.8 on a
CentOS 64 bit OS. Tomcat is fronted with Apache 2.2 and I’m using
mod_proxy_http. Both applications are wap sites.

I’ve been trying to implement an analytics solution provided by Admob.
The solution uses a pixel image in conjunction with a  cookie to
provide detailed user info. Similar to Google analytics but without
the Javascript. Admob provides the code in multiple formats including
Java.
The problem is that the cookie is not being set. I have been back and
forth with Admob and they are adamant that the problem lies in our
enviroment. Below is my Virtual Host config;

<VirtualHost 211.111.111.111:80>
    ServerName sitea.com
    ServerAlias www.sitea.com
    DocumentRoot /home/sitea
    ProxyPass / http://tomcatserver.com:8080/sitea/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://tomcatserver.com:8080/sitea/
    ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain tomcatserver.com site.com </VirtualHost>

The Admob code is a JSP file named AdMob.jsp that is imported into
each page of our webapp via this code snippet <jsp:include
page="/AdMob.jsp"/>

The AdMob.jsp file is pretty big so I won’t pase it all here except
for two snippets which I feel are most relevant. The first is this
one;

admobRequiredParams.put("COOKIE_DOMAIN", "sitea.com"); // If your
mobile site uses multiple subdomains, replace "null" with your root
domain (e.g. "example.com") to make the AdMob cookie visible across
subdomains.

The second is the code that sets the cookie;

private String admobGetCookieValue(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, PageContext pageContext, String
cookieDomain) {
  try {
    Cookie cookies[] = request.getCookies();
    if (cookies != null) {
      for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
        if (cookies[i].getName().equals("admobuu")) return
cookies[i].getValue();
      }
    }

    // Set a cookie if one has not already been set
    if (pageContext.getAttribute("admobCookie") == null) {
      String value = UUID.randomUUID().toString().replace("-","");
      Cookie c = new Cookie("admobuu", value);
      c.setMaxAge(60*60*24*365*20);
      c.setPath("/");
      if (cookieDomain != null) {
        if (cookieDomain.charAt(0) != '.') cookieDomain = "." + cookieDomain;
        c.setDomain(cookieDomain);
      }
      response.addCookie(c);
      pageContext.setAttribute("admobCookie", value);
    }
    return (String)pageContext.getAttribute("admobCookie");
  }
  catch (Exception e) {
    return "";
  }
}

When accessing sitea.com via Firefox with Live HTTP headers, it’s
clear that the cookie is not being set as it doesn’t come shop up.
However there is another cookie being set which I don’t recognise;

Cookie: an=Af4ab27e8d16fb4ac50f73d03fe54c132

Can anyone please assist in explaining why this AdMob cookie is not being set?

Thanks in advance
Michael
