Uh....even if it's just a "for-this-session" cookie, you still need to:
// check...are there cookies already set-up for this site / path ?
Cookie [] cookies = request.getCookies();
if they don't exist for the domain, (cookies.length=0) then:
// create a new one
Cookie info = new Cookie("cookie_name","");
// add some data
String stingval = "here is some cookie data - strings only !";
info.setValue(stringval);
// make sure it's accessible from all paths
info.setPath("/");
// lets save it ! - note: this cookie will disappear when the browser is
closed
response.addCookie(info);
I think the putValue is establishing some sort of session object - totally
unrelated to COOKIES.
Also, remember: Netscapes' implementation of cookies is totally distinct
from IE's !!
