HttpServletResponse.addCookie(Cookie) is not working when us

rhinox Apr 4, 2007 2:42 AM

When I use any of the a4j components to generate an AJAX request (e.g a4j:commandButton instead of h:commandButton) the method HttpServletResponse.addCookie(Cookie) is not working. I have the following test case:

Bean
TestCookieBean.java

public class TestCookieBean {
 public String test() {
 ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
 HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) externalContext.getResponse();
 Cookie cookie = new Cookie("test", "123456");
 cookie.setMaxAge(60*60*24*365);
 response.addCookie(cookie);
 return null;
 }
}

View
index.jsp

<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
<%@taglib uri="https://ajax4jsf.dev.java.net/ajax" prefix="a4j" %>
<html>
 <head></head>
 <body>
 <f:view>
 <a4j:form>
 <a4j:commandButton action="#{testCookieBean.test}" value="Test Cookie" />
 </h:form>
 </f:view>
 </body>
</html>

If I change the <a4j:commandButton> for <h:commandButton> the cookie gets created.

Please help!

Thanks!

Sorry, I've just copied your method and include the same Ajax button to my page and all works - as expected. So describe your environment more clearly.

I've used:
JSF 1.2.04
Facelets 1.1.12
Ajax4jsf and Rich Faces - latest SNAPSHOTS.

I've found the problem, if navigation rules of the faces-config.xml are declared as redirect the cookie is not created, but I need the redirect. I have the following:

JSF RI 1.2_05
AJAX4JSF 1.1.1-20070402.230943-21 (SNAPSHOT)
Tomahawk 1.1.5 (SNAPSHOT)
Facelets 1.1.11
Sun App Server 9.1 Beta

Here is the code:

Bean
TestCookieBean.java

public class TestCookieBean {
 public String test() {
 ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
 HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) externalContext.getResponse();
 Cookie cookie = new Cookie("test", "123456");
 cookie.setMaxAge(60 * 60 * 24 * 365);
 response.addCookie(cookie);
 return "verify_cookie";
 }
}

Try adding/removing the redirect from the navigation rule to reproduce the issue.

Thanks!
