Question

I have found this solution on Sof link
but i had to change it from two causes:

1. there is no .getFacesContext()
   function
2. i don’t have a specific cookie file
   (see line
   ourcookiename=yourcookievalue)

---

my code looks like this:

FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) facesContext.getExternalContext().getResponse();
response.addHeader("Set-Cookie", "; HTTPOnly");

original code

FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getFacesContext();   
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) facesContext.getExternalContext().getResponse();    
response.addHeader("Set-Cookie", "yourcookiename=yourcookievalue; HTTPOnly");

please correct me if I’m wrong. Thank You in advance

Answer 1

In jsf 2.0 you can do this:

FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
facesContext.getExternalContext().addResponseHeader("Set-Cookie", "; HTTPOnly");

In this way, you don’t need to do the cast to HttpServletResponse. For more documentation about JSF, check MyFaces Documentation Index.
