Hi All,
I tired flash scope in
JSF 2 (mojarra project) and I found it not working when redirecting to a page in a different path other than source page.
For example you can see from the http requests below that the cookie isn't resent, this is because the path of the cookie hasn't been set to the root.

I did some debugging and I found the following in method encode in class com.sun.faces.context.flash.ELFlash.PreviousNextFlashInfoManager that is responsible for creating this cookie. it is seems that when the length of value of the cookie is not equal to 1 character then don't set the path of the cookie to the root.
I don't understand what was the intention for doing so? it causes problems when redirecting to a page in a different path, is it a bug?
