My objective is to set a cookie from within a servlet called from a java client, and get the cookie when a different servlet is called from the browser.
The java client has an authenticated session with the server.
The server runs locally.
I tried suggestions from a different question and rename put an alias domain name in my hosts file.
I manually set the domain of the cookie to the alias domain, but it still won’t return on the server.
request.getRemoteHost() returns 127.0.0.1 in both servlets.

Any help would be appreciated.

    A cookie is held in memory (or on disk, but at a specific place) by each client. A Java client and a browser don’t share cookies. Two different browsers (IE and Firefox, for example) don’t share cookies either. There is no way to do what you want.
