BlazeDS Manually Set Cookie

I'm new to Java. I'm writing an application to link to a vendors Flash site. I have my BlazeDs based program talking to their site. I'm running into a problem where a session cookie is not getting set. The problem is that the host doesn't return it as a "set-cookie" header.

Their site returns the following cookieDirectives to set the SMSESSION cookie

cookieDirectives    
Externalized Object 
flex.messaging.io.ArrayCollection
[0] String SMSESSION={CONTENT STRIPPED FOR CLARITY}; max-age=-1;path=/; domain=.-----.com

I can set the cookie in my amfConnection as follows:

amfConnection.addHttpRequestHeader("Cookie", resultString);

However, that only gives me the one cookie and there are several others I need. The others have been set earlier by the host and are set using a "Set-Cookie" header.

How can I either add this cookie to the existing ones or recover the existing cookies so I can manually add them.

Solution

  • I was able to resolve this by changing my approach. Instead of relying on my amfConnection to handle the cookies I grab the session id using httpclient, store it in a variable, and then push my cookies to amfConnection.
