HTTP Cookies
HTTP is stateless protocol. RFC2965 describes a way for a web application to send state information to the user agent and for the user agent to return the state information to the origin web application. This state information is often referred to as cookie.
Circumflex Web Framework helps you set response cookies and access request cookies throughout your application using case class HttpCookie . It is mutable and dead simple.

case class HttpCookie(var name: String,
var value: String,
var domain: String = null,
var path: String = null,
var comment: String = null,
var secure: Boolean = false,
var maxAge: Int = -1) {
|
You can convert HttpCookie back to javax.servlet.Cookie using convert method.
|
def convert: Cookie = {
val c = new Cookie(name, value)
if (domain != null) c.setDomain(domain)
if (path != null) c.setPath(path)
if (comment != null) c.setComment(comment)
c.setSecure(secure)
c.setMaxAge(maxAge)
return c
}
override def toString = name + " = " + value
}
|
Depending on your application needs you can obtain an instance of HttpCookie by supplying javax.servlet.Cookie as an argument to apply method of HttpCookie singleton:
HttpCookie(rawCookie)
|
object HttpCookie {
def apply(cookie: Cookie): HttpCookie =
new HttpCookie(
cookie.getName,
cookie.getValue,
cookie.getDomain,
cookie.getPath,
cookie.getComment,
cookie.getSecure,
cookie.getMaxAge)
}
