JSP cookie problem

[Paul Stearman <Pa...@AMT-Sybex.com>]

I am creating a site which almost entirely is made up of JSPs.

On the loin page i want to write some information (use id, database
connection id, etc) into a cookie.  I am forwarding the page onto the next
one using a javascript function which in turn calls window.location.href.
(this is due to another problem but anyway!) As a result the
response.addCookie command doesnt seem to do anything.  I cant do a
response.sendRedirect as it says the response is already committed.

Any ideas?
