set headers, cookie

Dear forum

From within a component, preferably using Java, we need to customize the cookie and possibly other headers as well of the page.

How is this best accomplished in LiveSite 3.0.2?

Any way to access tomcat's servlet headers from the component?

Kind regards,

off of RequestContext you have access to httpRequest and httpResponse

..and just how does one do that?

A sample codesnippet for an instance of RequestContext actually gets the httpResponse object would be highly appreciated.

You would create an external (see developer docs for this), which would have code something like:

public class CookieExternal
{
public Document addCookie(RequestContext context)
{
context.getResponse().addCookie(new Cookie(...));
}
}

similarly context.getRequest() to get the HttpServletRequest object.
