Setting gwt cookie when redirecting to other domain

Question

I have a web application developed using gwt.2.5.1, java. In my application i have a link "Volex page" which will send to the request to the other server(Volex).

supppose if i open my application with "http://localhost:8085/myApp" and can see the "vloex page", once user clicks on the 'Volex page' it will be redirected to 'Volex server' like below.

Window.Location("http://167.23.543.34:8087/VolexSer/volex")

The above url hits the volex server which needs some inforamtion like session id, for this i have to set the session id in the cookie like below:

    Date cookieDate = new Date();
    cookieDate.setDate(cookieDate.getDate() + 1);
    String baseUrl = "http://167.23.543.34:8087/VolexSer/volex";
    Integer nDomainInitialPosition = baseUrl.indexOf("/");
    Integer nDomainEndPosition = baseUrl.lastIndexOf(":");
    String baseDomain = baseUrl;

    if (nDomainInitialPosition == nDomainEndPosition) {
        nDomainEndPosition = baseUrl.indexOf("/");
    }
    baseDomain = baseUrl.substring(nDomainInitialPosition + 2, nDomainEndPosition);
    Window.alert("baseDomain: " + baseDomain);
    String eWebPageUrl = com.google.gwt.user.client.Window.Location.getHref();

    if (eWebPageUrl.contains("https://")) {
        Cookies.setCookie("sessionId", LoginInfo.getSessionId(), cookieDate, baseDomain, "/", true);
    } else {
        Cookies.setCookie("sessionId", LoginInfo.getSessionId(), cookieDate, baseDomain, "/", false);
    }

Here opening with two domains one is "localhost" other is "167.23.543.34", If i set the cookie like above, it is not showing in the request header. Can any body tell mw what is the wrong in the above code?

Trouble is located at domain section of cookie. Cookie for one server is not available on another for security purpose (if servers not from from one domain). I suppose you need something like cross-domain cookie, please follow the link or rebuild url of the request and send required information with GET\POST directly.

Thanks @Alexander, but if you see my code i am setting the cookie with "167.23.543.34" before opening Window.Location("http://167.23.543.34:8087/VolexSer/volex"), So cookie sets in the same domain – M.S.Naidu Apr 14 '15 at 08:51
Hello @Alexander, Please let me know if i need to provide more details. – M.S.Naidu Apr 14 '15 at 09:06
It is not all clear for me. In your code I see that baseDomain are always reference to localhost. – Alexander Fedyukov Apr 14 '15 at 09:09
May be you need to change baseDomain in cookie factory to something from eWebPageUrl? – Alexander Fedyukov Apr 14 '15 at 09:11
Thanks for remind me, Please look into edited code. which is some other domain. – M.S.Naidu Apr 14 '15 at 09:12

Show how you prepare and send request to the server. – Alexander Fedyukov Apr 14 '15 at 15:31
String baseUrl = "http://167.23.543.34:8087/VolexSer/volex"; From GWT side i just hit the server like below after setting the cookie: com.google.gwt.user.client.Window.open(mfpWebPageURL, "", ""); – M.S.Naidu Apr 16 '15 at 05:16
Is baseUrl and url of requested server the same? – Alexander Fedyukov Apr 16 '15 at 05:27
sorry@Alexender, String baseUrl = "167.23.543.34:8087/VolexSer/volex";; From GWT side i just hit the server like below after setting the cookie: com.google.gwt.user.client.Window.open(baseUrl , "", ""); – M.S.Naidu Apr 16 '15 at 06:12
window.open(baseUrl, ""); – M.S.Naidu Apr 16 '15 at 06:12
