[opencms-dev] Cookies in OpenCms 5.0

[Michael LaBrie]

Hi, list:

Just attempting to follow-up on this question and see if there might
be anything else I could provide.  I am using OpenCms 5.0 and am
simply looking to set a named cookie; very little beyond that.

I was initially using JavaScript to set the cookie (which worked
perfectly offline, separate from OpenCms), but the session does not
remember the setting of the cookie when used within OpenCms.

I have seen the:
((HttpServletResponse)cmso.getRequestContext().getResponse().getOriginalResponse()).addCookie(cookie);

... response, but this appears to not be working for me.  Perhaps I'm
missing something?

I have done some additional Googling and have come up with very
little.  I have seen this question asked a few times in the past, and
a couple responses that appear as if someone may have figured
something out, but whatever the answer may be does not appear to be
contributed.

There's obviously a way to do it, and it's just a matter of figuring
that way out :).  Thank you in advance for your help!
