Java Servlet Cookies.

What is Cookies?

  • Cookie data comes in name-value pairs.
  • It is easy to construct a cookie:
    ...
    // Constructor: Cookie(String name, String value)
    ...
    Cookie cookie = new Cookie("ID", "123");
    ...
  • You will get the Cookies from the HttpServletRequest interface :
    ...
    // HttpServletRequest interface :  Cookie[] getCookies()
    ...
    Cookie[]  cookies= request.getCookies();
    if (cookies ! = null) {
      for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
        String name = cookies[i].getName();
        String value = cookies[i].getValue();
      }
    }
    ...
  • You can add Cookies to the HttpServletResponse interface :
    ...
    // HttpServletResponse interface:  void addCookie(Cookie cookie)
    ...
    Cookie cookie = new Cookie("ID", "123");
    response.addCookie(cookie);
     ...
