Thanks for that tip Aaron; the cookie was sent to the browser, but what I didn't know about was the 'path' property of the cookie: looking at the Mozilla cookie manager, I realized that I had refactored the WK code and the cookie's path was set to a subdirectory. So, in step 5 below the browser was getting the cookie because the servlet was in the correct path.
