How to store cookies in different CefRequestContext

Postby Vilsonei » Mon Jan 20, 2020 8:45 pm

In my application I need to open several browsers in different contexts but store cookies for each browser separately.

When closing the system and opening it again, I would like each browser to load its cookies and resume sessions automatically.

In the version of java-cef 3.2xxx there was something like this:

cookieManager_ = CefCookieManager.createManager(cookiePath, false);
requestContext = CefRequestContext.createContext( new CefRequestContextHandlerAdapter() {
@Override
public CefCookieManager getCookieManager() {
return cookieManager_;
}
}


In the most current version of java-cef (78.2xxx) I couldn't find a way to get a custom CefCookieManager.

Could anyone help me on this issue?

Cookie managers are now associated with a request context, which is specified when creating a browser. They can no longer be changed dynamically.

Thanks for the reply magreenblatt!

Is there a way to persist the context to recover it when the application is closed and reopened?

Because I need to link to each context an "ID" so that I can access and load them in the correct browsers.

The C++ API allows you to specify a cache_path via CefRequestContextSettings when creating a request context. This is not currently exposed by JCEF, but it should be possible to add support to CefRequestContext.createContext.

magreenblatt what would you suggest to store cookies in contexts created at runtime, create a native CEF implementation or migrate the application to C ++?

I saw that in project issues, request # 88 solves this problem, but it seems that it has been lost in time.

How to open a request in java-cef to create a context-specific CefCookieManager just like in C ++?

You would need to define a CefRequestContextSettings object in Java, pass it to the CefRequestContext.createContext method and use it to populate a C++ CefRequestContextSettings object. See CefSettings.java implementation and usage for patterns that you can follow.

I would like to know how do I assign a jstring to a cef_string_t, I am not fluent in C ++, I'm taking a beating on this assignment, see my code:

Code: Select all
JNIEXPORT jobject JNICALL
Java_org_cef_browser_CefRequestContext_1N_N_1CreateContext(JNIEnv* env,
                                                           jclass cls,
                                                           jstring jcachePath,
                                                           jobject jhandler) {
  CefRefPtr<CefRequestContextHandler> handler = NULL;
  if (jhandler != NULL) {
    handler = new RequestContextHandler(env, jhandler);
  }

  CefString cachePath = GetJNIString(env, jcachePath);
  CefRequestContextSettings settings;
  settings.cache_path = cachePath; // I don't know how to do this!

  CefRefPtr<CefRequestContext> context = CefRequestContext::CreateContext(settings, handler);
  if (!context.get())
    return NULL;

  jobject jContext = NewJNIObject(env, cls);
  if (!jContext)
    return NULL;

  SetCefForJNIObject(env, jContext, context.get(), "CefRequestContext");
  return jContext;
}

I solved my question with the following code:

JNIEXPORT jobject JNICALL
Java_org_cef_browser_CefRequestContext_1N_N_1CreateContext(JNIEnv* env,
jclass cls,
jstring jcachePath,
jobject jhandler) {
CefRefPtr<CefRequestContextHandler> handler = NULL;
if (jhandler != NULL) {
handler = new RequestContextHandler(env, jhandler);
}

CefString cachePath = GetJNIString(env, jcachePath);
CefRequestContextSettings settings;
cef_string_copy(cachePath.c_str(), cachePath.length(), &settings.cache_path);

CefRefPtr<CefRequestContext> context = CefRequestContext::CreateContext(settings, handler);
if (!context.get())
return NULL;

jobject jContext = NewJNIObject(env, cls);
if (!jContext)
return NULL;

SetCefForJNIObject(env, jContext, context.get(), "CefRequestContext");
return jContext;
}

A short-hand version of the same thing would be:
Code: Select all
GetString(&settings.cache_path) = GetJNIString(env, jcachePath);

Could this be added to the source? I too relied on createManager to have a separate Cookie Manager for each Browser I created (so I could use separate PHP sessions / browser window).

Thank you!
