http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20849 RequestDispatcher.include'd Servlets/JSPs cannot addCookie Summary: RequestDispatcher.include'd Servlets/JSPs cannot addCookie Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.1.24 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The class org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationResponseWrapper overrides the addCookie method: /** * Disallow <code>addCookie()</code> calls on an included response. * * @param cookie The new cookie */ public void addCookie(Cookie cookie) { if (!included) ((HttpServletResponse) getResponse()).addCookie(cookie); } The "included" boolean value is set to true when this ResponseWrapper subclass is being passed to a Servlet or JSP invoked via RequestDispatcher.include. The effect is that if the include servlet/JSP calls response.addCookie(cookie) the cookie is ignored, and is not sent back to the browser. I have looked hard at the Servlet 2.4 specification, and see nowhere that states that included servlets/JSPs should not be allowed to set cookies. I think we should just remove the if (!included) test -- always add the cookie to the response. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
