How to set cookie value in one page and retrieve in another page using setA

Question

How to set cookie value in one page and retrieve in another page using setActionListener?
I have tried with following code srcpage.jspx->destpage.jspx
srcpage.jspx
<af:table value="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.collectionModel}"
var="emp" rows="#{bindings.EMPView1.rangeSize}"
first="#{bindings.EMPView1.rangeStart}"
emptyText="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.viewable ? 'No rows yet.' : 'Access Denied.'}">
<af:column sortProperty="EmployeeName" sortable="false"
headerText="Cookie Testing">
<af:commandLink text="#{emp.EmployeeName}" action="success">
<af:setActionListener from="#{emp.EmployeeName}"
to="#{cookie}"/>
</af:commandLink>
</af:column>
</af:table>
espage.jspx
<af:outputText value="Test Cookie Value: #{cookie}"/>
,Here Test Cookie Value prints the following instead of its original String value
{JSESSIONID=javax.servlet.http.Cookie@7da288, oracle.uix=javax.servlet.http.Cookie@399f62}
I have passed employee name "Robert" to cookie in srcpage.jspx,but it prints "JSESSIONID....." instead of "Robert" in destpage.jspx
Thanks in advance

Hi,
"cookie" is a reserved name. If you want to write to a session scope attribute called "cookie" then you have to call #{sessionScope.cookie}. If you want to use EL to set and read from cookies then you will have to use
#{cookie.cookieName}
Note that #{cookie} writes to and returns a map
