tomcat cookie domain validation

Question

I\'m using tomcat 8.0.21 with the new Rfc6265 cookie processor. If there are cookies starting with a dot I\'m getting the following error:

java.lang.IllegalArgum         


        

Answer 1

I'm using a new version of Tomcat 8 (from this last October) and after add the line to force use the legacy cookie processor, it works fine. On your ${catalina.base}conf/context.xml:

WEB-INF/web.xml
${catalina.base}/conf/web.xml

I hope this may be your case. Just set this CookieProcessor, and your implementation will be working as was in previous versions of Tomcat 8.
