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

You can revert Tomcat's behaviour by defining the legacy cookie processor in your context.xml file.

See Apache Tomcat 8 Configuration Reference: The Cookie Processor Component
