You are going wrong by trying to set a domain that is illegal. Domains do not start with a "." and setDomain() ignores it. I assume you are trying to check the domain of the returned cookie with the starting "."; of course it will return null.
Mark -----Original Message----- From: cbarnes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 3:35 AM Some might say this question is a bit off topic - but the Cookie class is part of the servlet package so I thought I would risk it. I am using javax.servlet.http.Cookie to create a cookie, and I want to be able to set the domain on this cookie. I am calling Cookie.setDomain(".whatever.com"); (note that the domain starts with a ".") However, when the browser (IE) asks if the cookie can be set it shows a domain of "whatever.com" in the dialog box. If I retrieve the cookie and check the domain it is null. I am assuming this is because the domain wasn't set with the first ".", but if I call Cookie.setDomain with a value that starts with "." it strips it off. Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong? Any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated, Catharine ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
