Please correct me if am wrong in understanding this concept.
============================================================

If u have yahoo.com u have a servlet running on it and it has a cookie and
its name is "yahoo" and if u have nearly 10 session for yahoo alone then u
willget different ids but the session name is the same.  If u r accessing
the netscape then u will get a cookie called "netscape" and if ucreate 10
different sessions for netscape then u willget 10 different cookie id for
the same cookie "netscape" but the name is the same.  When u say
req.getCookies then all the cookies including that of "yahoo" "netscape"
will be reproduced u need to get what cookie ur accessing with.

if so, how shall i get the current cookie i will assign a cookie to a
browser and a session and if i move toanother url or another browser then
how shall i know what is the current cookie name for the current session.

Please helpme to understand this concept.
