How to Access Cookies Set at the Client Side

Class javax.servlet.http.cookies can be used to access cookies on the client side. The following code demonstrates this technique. The code also checks for the cookie names in order to access the desired one.


boolean bcookiefound = false;
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
for(int nIndex=0;nIndex <cookies.length;nIndex++)
{
if(cookies[nIndex].getName().equals(“MyCookie”))
{
bcookiefound = true;
//desired cookie found, use it
}
}
if(bcookiefound == false)
{
//cookie not found.
}
