Hi, Had tried your code, and it is giving NullPointerException, when you are trying to get the name of the cookies because your cookies == null. Try this code:
package doccookietest; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; import java.io.IOException; public class CookieServlet extends HttpServlet { public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException { super.init(config); } public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { response.setContentType("text/html"); System.out.println("(1) In the CookieServlet doGet now!"); // Retrieve an array of cookies from the requesting browser Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies(); System.out.println("(2) You have retrieved an array of cookies."); System.out.println("(3) Prior to referencing the first element of the array..."); System.out.println("*************: " + cookies); String cookieName = "MyCookie"; String cookieValue = "MyValue"; if (cookies == null){ Cookie cookie = new Cookie(cookieName, cookieValue); response.addCookie(cookie); System.out.println("cookies set"); System.out.println("(4) The first cookie in the array is: " + cookie.getName()); } else{ System.out.println("(4) The first cookie in the array is: " + cookies[0].getName()); } System.out.println("(5) Here is the first line after referencing the array"); } public void destroy() { } } Regards, Vikramjit Singh, GTL Ltd.
