RE: HttpOnly and J2EE containers

Hi Jeff,

At last, I used 

...
<property name="cookiePath" value="/mypath &quot;;
HttpOnly; Path=/mypath; bla=&quot;">
...

in sun-web.xml, which worked but not-good looking. I
was searching for smt. that I won't touch the code. I
think HttpOnly should be added to J2EE interface.

thanks for the reply.
