Hi Nic & Milt,
Thanks lot for all your valuable answers.
I really appreciate all your help in this regard.
Let me ask one simple question.
If I cannot get those values in the server end, then why does
Java API supports with those getXXX() methods ?????
Is it just to confuse the user ????
Pl. correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks in advance,
Naveen.

Yes - you are clear in the description of your problem. You have
explained it to use before.
Have the answers not been clear?
You can't do it.
When the browser sends the cookie back to the server it DOES NOT send
anything about the cookie except the name and the value.
The path and the domain that you have set on the cookie ARE NOT
passed to the server by the browser.
Therefore you CANNOT do what you are askling and we have all
explained that several times now.
Nic
