narrowed down the problem:

1 and 2 works, 3 does not set cookie, although code in servlet gets executed, why ?

in jsp

//1.
<a href="http://localhost:8080/testWeb/mcLogin" >Set serverlet cookie </a>
//2.
<a href="/testWeb/mcLogin" >Set serverlet cookie2 </a>
//3.
<jsp:include page="/mcLogin" flush = "true"/>

in servlet

Cookie cookie = new Cookie("fromServlet","gfsdg");
cookie.setPath("/");
response.addCookie(cookie);
