Ernst,
Cookies are not deleted by HttpClient unless they are expired. I am pretty sure about
it
In your particular case there's a bug in the following piece of code
public AddReleaseTask() {
HttpState httpState = new HttpState();
httpState.setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.COMPATIBILITY);
_httpClient = new HttpClient();
_httpClient.setConnectionTimeout(7000); // 7 seconds
_httpClient.setTimeout(5000); // 5 seconds
_httpClient.setState(httpState);
}
There's a new instance of HttpState created every time the method is executed. As a
result the old one gets garbage collected along with all the cookies it contains. Just
keep the original HttpState instance to stop your cookies from disappearing

Subject: Why are cookies deleted?
Hi,
Why are cookies deleted from the state registered with my HttpClient object?
I do a request (GetMethod) that returns 2 cookies. Then I do another request
(using another GetMethod) and with that I lose both cookies. Should I
recycle the original method or should I release the connection or should I
do something else?
I'm pretty sure the site does not delete the cookies self, although I'm not
100% sure. How can I determine this?
