Author:

Davanum Srinivas (dims@yahoo.com) History: By Chandra Talluri Modifications done for maintaining sessions. Cookies needed to be set on HttpState not on MessageContext, since ttpMethodBase overwrites the cookies from HttpState. Also we need to setCookiePolicy on HttpState to CookiePolicy.COMPATIBILITY else it is defaulting to RFC2109Spec and adding Version information to it and tomcat server not recognizing it
