Of course if you examine cookies for spring they will be jwt_java_spring. Also, recognize when you are using thymeleaft you will get a session cookie Sess_java_spring or something similar. Session cookies and jwt cookies are handled differently. I think Trystan was telling me he identified a bug, but I was not convinced.
