Yes, the request does exist (that's why it's in quotes), but it's not
picking up the cookies for some reason.
I know the cookies are there, because I display them for debugging purposes
after successful registration. Plus I verified the cookie file is in the
"Cookies" directory. :-)
Here's the code I'm using to try and display them:
<%
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();
out.println("Cookie : Name [" + name + "], Value [" + value +
"]<BR>");
}
} else
out.println("There are no cookies.<P>");
%>
Pretty basic code, but I always get the "There are no cookies" message when
I first visit this initial page.

There's an error in your thinking. The response doesnt exist without the
request. So the request does already exist. Just call getCookies on it and
you should be fine.

Subject: Checking prior registration with initial JSP page (cookies?)
I am working on logins/registrations using just JSP, Servlets and JDBC. By
default, when a user gets to the home page (JSP), they can (currently)
either Log In or Register.
Everything with registering and logging in is working perfectly fine, but
what I would like to do is have the browser automatically forwarded to the
login page if they are already registered. For example, if they are already
registered, when they browse to http://www.mysite.com/index.jsp, I want the
browser to automatically go to http://www.mysite.com/login.jsp instead.
I can do the forwarding part of this solution with no problem, but I'm not
sure of the best way to handle the check to see if they are already
registered. When they create a new account, I create a cookie with the
appropriate information in it (which also works), but the JSP can't get
cookies from the implicit response object (I'm assuming) because the request
doesn't "exist" yet.
