Hi.

Can a cookie be set from a vf page other than the page where I actually want to access it? I have two visual force pages. PageA and PageB.

Where PageA is the home page and PageB is where I am actually computing some value and want to set that value as cookie on Page A.

I could set the cookie and read it from PageB but when I am trying to read the same cookie from pageA, ot shows null value. 

Here is the code snippet of what I am trying to do...

In pageB:

//Setting the cookie

 Cookie ck =  new Cookie('newcounter',newcounterval,null,360,false);

  List<Cookie> ls = new List<cookie>(); 

  ls.add(ck); 

  pagereference pg = new pagereference('/apex/PageA'); 

  pg.setCookies(ls);

//Reading the cookie from PageB:

Cookie cook = pg.getCookies().get('newcounter');

        System.debug('$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ cookie value'+ cook);  //displays the correct cookie value

In page A

 Cookie counter = ApexPages.currentPage().getCookies().get('newcounter');
    cookievalue = String.valueOf(counter.getValue());//displays null here

Tried this as well:

 pagereference pg = new pagereference('/apex/PageA');
    Cookie cook = pg.getCookies().get('newcounter');
        System.debug('$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ cookie value'+ cook); // displays null here as well

Any help is greatly appreciated.
