Since you don't specify the path when you write the cookie it's in
/app/servlet. This means that this cookie can only be read by pages/servlets
in this directory or subdirectories.
Your JSP is in a different directory structure and is not allowed to read
the cookie you wrote.
add cookie.setPath("/") to your servlet to set the cookie path to the root.
Then your JSP (as it is a subdirectory of the root) can read your cookie.

Subject: Cookies
I set a cookie like this from a servlet (URI=
/app/servlet/myPackage.CookieTest):
Cookie userCookie = new Cookie("someName", "someValue");
userCookie.setMaxAge(60*60*24*365);
response.addCookie(userCookie);
I later try to read the cookies using a JSP page like this (URI=
/app/getCookieValue.jsp):
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
Cookie cookie;
for(int i=0; i<cookies.length; i++)
{
cookie = cookies[i];
out.print(cookie.getName() + "=");
out.print(cookie.getValue() + "\n");
}
I get nothing in the results, however, if I try to get and print the
cookie values from the same servlet, I get all cookies that were set and
the sessionid cookie as well. What is going on? How can I set cookies in
a servlet and get their values from a jsp file (btw, the jsp file is in
the same package).
PS Is this the right forum for this question?
