Subject: [JSP-INTEREST] cookie retrieval
> 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
