I successfully add a cookie, but cannot read the cookie in another jsp page

Question

Putting cookie*******************************
page1.jsp
<%Cookie adam = new Cookie("adam", "adam");
adam.setMaxAge(3600*365);
response.addCookie(adam);
%>
Reading cookie*********************************
page2.jsp
<%String userid = "";
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();%>
<%=cookies.length%>
<%for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
Cookie aCookie = cookies;
if (aCookie.getName().equals("adam")==true){
userid = aCookie.getValue();%>
<%=userid%>
<%break;
}%>
I checked my cookies and it did drop the cookie.
cookies.length = 1
Cookie[0] contains garbage or encrypted data.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong

Answer 1

Hi, are you sure that is not a problem of paths,
in you page where you get the cookies try
cookie.getPath() to see from where are you trying to get it, could be different from the path where you set it.
The documentation of the Cookie class
(http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.2/javadoc/index.html) can help you more.
I am sure that this is the problem.
