I'm developping a REST Api which needs to be statefull (no workaround for that, i'm using a native lib with no serializable objects etc.)
This Rest API is exposed on a web server on a domain domainA. Response contains a Access-Control-Allow-Origin header set to *, so I needn't JSON-P. (I don't know if this detail cares).
I did a GWT use sample of this API on a domainB requesting DomainA. Browsers do not add the cookie previously set. It's works 'statelessly'.
Must the sample be on DomainA too? Is there a workaroud or an specific header to set?
Edit: I set a main domain in the Cookie. And it doesn't work. The browser still doesn't set the cookie session in the next request header.
