Hi Mark,
Thanks again. Your suggestion sounds like a way forward to solve our
problem. I just tried it and it works. Our cookie containing non-spec
complaint cookie values are being created without any double quotes.
Could you please also let me know the difference between
response.setHeader("Set-Cookie", "name=value") and
response.addCookie(cookie)? Are there any disadvantage of using
response.setHeader() to set cookies?
Thanks,
Thoiba

You'd have to add the cookie header manually in your application if you
want to write a non-spec compliant cookie. Tomcat always write spec
compliant cookies.
