CQ5 dispatcher alternative

Question

Is there any alternative of dispatcher?

We cannot set headers from CQ5 with using dispatcher. Handling cookies is also tricky, we can store cookies, only with POST request with using dispatcher. (storing cookies on client side is a bad practice).

So is there any better alternative for dispatcher, like caching in filter chain?

Thanks!

Well, it's not really an alternative but a possible extension:
