If the request does not contain any cookies, request.getCookies() returns a
null value...Maybe thats why you cant see any println's. If you look into
your server logs you just might find a NullPointerException thrown at the
line where you've written
> System.out.println("(4) The first cookie in the array is: " +
> cookies[0].getName());
