How to create session cookies?

When I use the following code:
    CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
    try {
            Cookie cookie = new Cookie("JSESSIONID", jsessionId);
            cookie.setExpireDate(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 36000000));
            cookieManager.setCookie(new URL("http://10.99.9.84"), cookie);           
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    }
    navigate(url);
The cookie JSESSIONID is sent to my server and my application works properly.
I delete the next line (I want a session cookie):
    cookie.setExpireDate(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 36000000));   
but then the cookie is not sent to my server and my application stops working.
According to the documentation: "The session cookies do not have an an expiration date and created in the same process".
What am I doing wrong?

Re: How to create session cookies?

Hi David,


Thanks for reporting this issue. This is actually a known issue that in JExplorer 2.x the functionality that allows setting session cookies is broken. The reason of this behavior is that session cookies are available only for a process in which they were created. And since JExplorer 2.x all browser instances are running in separate native process, but the session cookies still creating in Java process. We will fix this issue in one of the next update of JExplorer (probably this month).

Re: How to create session cookies?

Hi Vladimir,

 

Just a question related to Session cookies:

 

From JExplorer 2.x an instance of browser has it own native process. Correct?  if I have  two browser controls (Say Browser A & Browser B) embedded in my application then can session cookies created by Browser A be used by Browser B as both these browsers are created using same java process? In other words, Is it possible to share the session cookies among different browser controls embedded within a java application?

 

Best Regards,

Niranjan Venkatachari.

Re: How to create session cookies?

Hi Niranjan,


Only Browser instances created in the same process can have access to session cookies each other.

In order to create Browser instances in the same process you can use the following code:

Browser browser1 = new Browser();
Browser browser2 = new Browser(browser1);

Re: How to create session cookies?

Hello.
I'm using the version 2.3 of Jexplorer. With Explorer 6 works correctly.
With explorer 7 I am still forced to put a expire date of the cookie to be sent.

Re: How to create session cookies?

Hello.

Another strange behavior we observed is that session cookies are the same in the original browser, which opens the Java application, and in the popup of the browser that is embedded within the Java application, using JExplorer.
