Cookie state persistence

Question

Hi folks,
I added the following to my netuix-config.xml just above the
window-state entry
<control-state-location>
<cookie expires="10000"/>
</control-state-location>
It seems to at least store the portal state in a cookie with the
following as the contents.
PortalState_desktop20
0||0_5+1+4+null+null+null+null+view+0+1+0_9+1+4+null+null+null+null+view+0+1+0_15+1+4+null+null+null+null+view+1+0_22+1+4+null+null+null+null+view+0+
localhost/proxy/mnc/appmanager/portal/
1024
3995002240
29635060
2784910048
29635037
However, upon closing my browser, and reopening it and pointing to the
desktop again, it forgets the changes I made in my last session that
were supposed to be persisted to cookies. Are the cookies only valid
for the session? Or am I missing something?

Answer 1

Ok, made some changes, and tried it out with the state in the url to
make sure I had set things up correctly, and the url does put the state
in the url so I assume my setup is ok.
So I am guessing one of a few things is happening with my cookies:
1/ The state is only persisted in the cookie for each session
2/ The portal does not read the state from the cookie for previous sessions
3/ The portal stores it to the cookie but actually reads it from the session
4/ something else.
I'd really appreciate a response from BEA as to whether this is
functioninng as intentioned or if this is a bug in the product that I
should open a support case for.
Thanks in advance
