> When deploying into the root context of JBoss AS (war-file is names ROOT.war), the context path is the empty string. RememberMe checks the context path against null values before adding setting it in the Cookie, but not against empty values. A Cookie with the path set to "" is refused by some browsers (tested on Safari on iPhoneOS 3.1.3). When the path is set to /, the Cookie is accepted as expected.
> As a workaround, I subclassed RememberMe and overwrote getCookiePath():
>     @Override
>     public String getCookiePath() {
>         // do not send empty path - this confuses safari for iPhone
>         String path = super.getCookiePath();
>         return "".equals(path) ? "/" : path;
>     }
