Cookie being used in different applications which are on different database

Question

Hi,
I have two htmldb applications. One app (App1) is on database DB1, and the second one (App2) is on database DB2. App1 will create a cookie, and App1 will use URL to redirect to App2. App2 will use the cookie which App1 created.
The problem is in App2, I used owa_cookie to get the cookie but, it is not there.
I know different htmldb applications in the same workspace (in the same database) can share the cookie. Can the htmldb applications in the different databases share the same cookie?
Thanks.

Scott,
Thank you for your reply.
In App1, I have set a cookie as following:
begin
owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
owa_cookie.send(
name=>'LOGIN_USERNAME_COOKIE',
value=> 'abcd');
owa_util.http_header_close;
exception when others then null;
end;
App1 in DB1 accesses source(URL) App2 (eg: http://mymachin.domain.com:7778/dbname/f?p=100:101).
App2 in DB2 has a process (On Load -Before Header) in login page to get the cookie:
declare
v varchar2(255) := null;
c owa_cookie.cookie;
begin
c := owa_cookie.get('LOGIN_USERNAME_COOKIE');
:P101_USERNAME := c.vals(1);
exception when others then null;
end;
I just want to pass the username from App1 to App2.
Is there any way the cookie can be shared in my case?
Thanks.
