Hi,

Is it possible to read a cookie set by a Theme from a JSP component in a WCM
 Viewer portlet? Could anyone give me some sample code?

I think it may not be possible because portal theme and portlets are conside
red to be different web applications. Am I right? Does anyone know it for su
re?

Thank you

Hi,

It should be possible. Cookies are stored/managed by the client and is share
able between different web apps.

I believe the WCM Viewer uses the IBM Portlet API and is not a JSR168 portle
t. As such, in the JSP, you might be able to do:

Cookie[] cookieArray = request.getCookies();

This method is not available in JSR168. While there is not an official stand
ard yet, I found the following trick to work:

String cookieList = request.getProperty("cookie");
/* Now parse through the ; delimited cookie list for the cookie name/value y
ou need */

Also, another alternative might be to use Javascript within your JSP to read
 the coookie.  Hope that help!
