Hi, a have a JSP page to setup a cookie:

cook = new Cookie("memberCookie", userid);
response.addCookie(cook);
response.sendRedirect("http://myhost/mydir/somelocation/enterDate.jsp";);

and the page to retrieve the cookies (enterDate.jsp):

Cookie cookies[] = request.getCookies();
if(cookies != null) {
    for(int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
        if (cookies[i].getName().equals("memberCookie"));
        out.println("Welcome: " + cookies[i].getValue());
        }
 }

Here's the conundrum..if the cookie is retrieved from a DIFFERENT page that
setup the cookie, the output (getValue, getName etc) returns only a session
ID ie "JSESSIONID ASFK459FH32LJAD0TLJFV93GDG". BUT, if the cookie is
retrieved from a file in the SAME directory of setup, the desired output is
obtained (plus the same JSESSIONID info that can be discarded). Surely I do
not have to setup or retrieve cookies from 2 sources/files that are in the
same directory?

Thanks for all input

Paul.
