Description

As of today Struts provides some functionality to receive cookies in an Action, but there is no way to create cookies. I solved the issue by creating a custom CookieProviderInterceptor and CookieProvider interface that provide a standard way to generate cookies. The code I provide works and has been in production for months, but it is not Struts-ready, in the sense that it needs refactoring to remove the dependency from javax.servlet in the request; It is though a starting point to adapt it to Struts.

As a suggestion maybe it is possible to merge this funcionality in CookieInterceptor, since receiving and creating cookies are usually related.
