I'm using tomcat 8.0.21 with the new Rfc6265 cookie processor. If there are cookies starting with a dot I'm getting the following error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: An invalid domain [.db-app.de] was specified for this cookie
org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Rfc6265CookieProcessor.validateDomain(Rfc6265CookieProcessor.java:180)
org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Rfc6265CookieProcessor.generateHeader(Rfc6265CookieProcessor.java:122)
org.apache.catalina.connector.Response.generateCookieString(Response.java:959)
org.apache.catalina.connector.Response.addCookie(Response.java:907)

org.esigate.servlet.impl.ResponseSender.sendResponse(ResponseSender.java:70)
com.bahn.esiExtensions.ExtendedProxyServlet.doFilter(ExtendedProxyServlet.java:104)
Is there a way to prevent tomcat from throwing this error?

I'm using a new version of Tomcat 8 (from this last October) and after add the line to force use the legacy cookie processor, it works fine. On your ${catalina.base}conf/context.xml
:
<Context>
<!-- Default set of monitored resources. If one of these changes, the -->
<!-- web application will be reloaded. -->
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<WatchedResource>${catalina.base}/conf/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<!-- Uncomment this to disable session persistence across Tomcat restarts -->
<!--
<Manager pathname="" />
-->
<!-- Force use the old Cookie processor (because this new tomcat version uses RFC6265 Cookie Specification) -->
<CookieProcessor className="org.apache.tomcat.util.http.LegacyCookieProcessor" />
I hope this may be your case. Just set this CookieProcessor, and your implementation will be working as was in previous versions of Tomcat 8.
