jboss-web/use-session-cookies doesn't work
------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-6164
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6164
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Web (Tomcat) service
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.0.0.CR2, JBossAS-4.2.3.GA, JBossAS-4.2.2.GA, JBossAS-4.2.1.GA, JBossAS-4.2.0.GA
            Reporter: Takayoshi Kimura
            Assignee: Remy Maucherat
            Priority: Minor


To reproduce, create a .war directory under the deploy directory and put the following jsp file:

<%
javax.servlet.http.Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
if (cookies != null) {
  for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
    if ("JSESSIONID".equals(cookies[i].getName())) {
      out.println("Session ID cookie found: " + cookies[i].getValue());
      break;
    }
  }
}
%>

And put WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml as well:

<jboss-web>
  <use-session-cookies>false</use-session-cookies>
</jboss-web>

Then boot JBoss, hit the jsp file and reload. You'll see the session cookie is enabled.

Tested with AS 5 svn rev 80575, it shows:

2008-11-06 16:22:58,243 INFO  [org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.TomcatDeployment] (main) deploy, ctxPath=/test, vfsUrl=test.war
2008-11-06 16:22:58,244 DEBUG [org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.TomcatDeployment] (main) Using session cookies default setting

So it seems ignored.

WEB-INF/context.xml works:

<Context cookies="false" />
