           Summary: Second launch of an applet does not get session
                    cookies, opens new instance of Java Plugin
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Java
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jonathan.abourbih at blackboard.com


Launching a new applet runs a new version of the Java plugin, and does not get cookies from WebKit. This only occurs on MacOS 10.7, and is not reproducible on MacOS 10.8. It is also not reproducible in Firefox on 10.7. This occurs with any applet.

Steps to reproduce
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pre-steps: Make sure the Java console is showing, and is set to the highest log level (5).

1. Navigate to a page with an applet. Wait for the applet to load and start running.
2. Note that any "network" debug messages in the console include the session cookie.
3. Navigate away from the page, but note that the Java console remains open. (expected behaviour)
4. Go back to the original page containing the applet. Note that network traffic does not contain the session cookie. Also note that a new Java console opens, while the previous one also stays up.

In 10.8 and in Firefox on 10.7, the Java plugin re-uses the existing Java console, and cookies are retained appropriately. That is the expected behaviour.
