Problem with Cookies, please help!

[Zoomby2000]

Hi!

I want to set a Cookie with "response.addCookie(Cookie)", and then "Cookie.setMaxAge(...)". That works fine on my local Tomcat, but on the Server it doesn't work! What could it be??

Thanks, Chris

if you've made it work well i'd like to ask you something : i've seen that the code to get a cookie value is :


public String getCookie(HttpServletRequest request) {

String value="";
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
if (cookies != null) {
for (int i=0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
if (cookies.getName().equals(&quot;MyCookie&quot) {
value = cookies.getValue();
break;
}
}
}
return value;
}

what i want to know is what is this HttpServletRequest request ? what kind of parameter is it ? i've found nothing about it Best regards X-),

HttpServletRequest has methods by which you can find out about incoming information such as form data, HTTP request headers and the clients hostname. HttpServletResponse lets you specify outgoing information such as HTTP status codes and lets you obtain a PrintWriter used to send the document content back to the client.

The doGet and doPost methods require HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse for obtaining information about the request and for sending the response, respectively. HttpServletResponse/Request are imported from javax.servlet.http.
