can anyone tell me why this throws a java.lang.NullPointerException ?
public String getCookieExists(){
String strStatus = "no errors";
Cookie info;
try{
if (request.getCookies() != null){
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies(); //null exception from here
if (cookies.length !=0 && cookies != null){
for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length ; i++){
info = cookies[i];
if (info != null){
strStatus = info.getName().equals(strCookieLookingFor) &&
strCookieLookingFor != null ? "exists" : "doesnt exist";
}
}
}
}
}
catch(Exception e){
strStatus = (e.toString() + " <b>(from bean)</b>");
}
return strStatus;
}
