Is there a problem with calling Response.sendRedirect() after Response.addCookie() ?
Created May 4, 2012
Alex Chaffee Yes, there is a bug in Tomcat 3.1 (and possibly other servlet engines). To send a cookie through a redirect, you must set the headers manually. seanm@narus.com suggests:
Cookie long_term = new Cookie(LONG_TERM_COOKIE_NAME, user_name); long_term.setMaxAge(60*60*24*4); long_term.setPath("/Blah"); response.addCookie(long_term); response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY); response.setHeader("Location",REDIRECT_PAGE);
