I have looked at all the cookies in the HTTP header and it doesn't exist.
As we are using a FORM based authentication , we need some information from the login page so we decided to put the information into the cookie using client side javascript which doesn't work.
I also tried to create an intermediate
servlet before the j_security_check and I was able to create a cookie and access it from my request after the container's authentication process.But the problem there is that I am unable to use RequestDispatcher, i will have to use sendRedirect which displays the URL on the address bar.
Thanks
