Read Browser Cookie

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

my Abap-WD-Application needs the content of a browser cookie, which was created by a former apllication.In a BSP-Application i would do following coding in Event-Handler "OnInitialization"

[...

data: myCookies type TIHTTPCKI.

CALL METHOD request->GET_COOKIES

CHANGING

COOKIES = myCookies

...]

Any ideaa, how to handle this in a Abap-WD-Application?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

in BSP

[...

data: myCookies type TIHTTPCKI.

CALL METHOD request->GET_COOKIES

CHANGING

COOKIES = myCookies

You can do this

in WD4A

[...

data: myCookies type TIHTTPCKI.

CALL METHOD wdr_task=>request->GET_COOKIES

CHANGING

COOKIES = myCookies

...]

In Web Dynpro there is a clear separation between the application and the client.

So the instance of the object REQUEST is not available to the poor programmer.

I think that it's not possible to read the client side cookies.

Have a look to another interesting thread

where I suggested an a "dirty" alternative (SAP doesn't like it).

Hi,

the former Application, that created the cookie, is not a BSP-Application and creates only browser-cookies and no "server-side-cookies". So, i guess, this link will not work.

Hi Herrmann ,

did you read my suggestion? Is it clear?

Hi Sergio,

thank's for your answer, that REQUEST object is not available - it's a pity!

What i've implemented now: exit my WD-Application and calling a BSP-Application with redirect to my WD-Application. quite ugly, but it works.

best regards
