Cross-Domain Cookies

[gsuns82]

Hi All,
I am trying to have two webapps such as WebApp1 and WebApp2.

1. I am setting one cookie in WebApp1 in the HttpResponse.
2. How to read the same cookie from HttpRequest at WebApp2?

I know it sounds weired b'coz cookies are specific to websites, we cant access it from different webapp. But i heard of CROSS-DOMAIN cookies which can be shared across multiple webapps.How to implement this requirement using CROSS-DOMAIN cookies.

Please post your suggestions on this....

Note: I am trying this at J2ee webapps

Thanks In Advance,
Sundar

I have googled for you with "cross domain cookies" and the second hit in the list was "Implementi ng Cross-Domain Cookies - Tutorialized".
Have you read it? Why not?

By the way, I had the same problem and I solved it by just putting an apache-server as a proxy in between. So the domain on your browser is always the same, but it will be redirected to two different URL's internally.
