Hi,
I have HTTPRequest/Response object in the struts action class. And I wanted to create a cookie, say,
new Cookie ("userCookie",userAccVOFromSession.getUserId())
I tried like this,
httpResponse.addCookie(new Cookie ("userCookie",userAccVOFromSession.getUserId()));
But when I tried to retrieve the cookie with getCookie method, I am getting only LTPA and JSession cookie which were set as default.
Can anyone help as how to create a cookie? Is there any specific procedures for IBM WebSphere Portal?
Thanks in advance,
Suren
are you in a jsr 168 portlet? if so you cannot set cookies there

Yes Jim.. It is Struts + JSR 168 portlet based. Are there any alertnatives to set the user defined cookies?
not without doing some kind of hack, because this is what the spec states
The following methods of the HttpServletResponse must perform no operations:
setContentType, setContentLength, setLocale, addCookie, sendError,
So you could do it in the theme or something like that, if you were on a page that new it needed to set something

Hi,
I tried in the themes as said above. Tried including the cookie code in footer.jspf file like below,
%
System.out.println( "Trying to Retrieve cookies" );
boolean foundCookie = false ;
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
for ( int i = 0; i cookies.length; i++) {
Cookie c = cookies;
if (c.getName().equals( "userCookie" )) {
System.out.println( "Cookies Searched" );
out.println( "cookie name= " + c.getName() + " cookie Value : " + c.getValue());
foundCookie = true ;
}
}
if (!foundCookie) {
System.out.println( "Cookies Created" );
Cookie c = new Cookie( "userCookie" , "Test Value" );
out.println( "cookie name= " + c.getName() + " cookie Value : " + c.getValue());
response.addCookie(c);
}
System.out.println( "Once Again getting the cookies" );
Cookie[] cookiesDuplicate = request.getCookies();
for ( int i = 0; i cookiesDuplicate.length; i++) {
System.out.println( "Cookies Searching for Second time" );
System.out.println( "cookie name= " + cookiesDuplicate.getName() + " cookie Value : " + cookiesDuplicate.getValue());
}
Still, while retrieving the cookies, i am able to see only the LTPA and JSESSION in Sysout log file. I am also pasting that piece of sample from Sysout log file,

Thanks in advance,
