adding Cookie - request object doesn't get updated.

["Mallinath Suralikal (C)" <Ma...@neoforma.com>]

Hi,
 
I am adding the Cookies using WebRequest.addCookie(String, String).  At the
server side, if I do getCookies(), it's returning null. Looks like the
cookies are not updated on the request. 
 
Thanks

Hi Mallinath,

You must be doing something wrong... :-)

Try simplifying the problem until it works and then find out the error in
your code.

Have you tried writing and testing the following:

    public void beginCookieEncoding(WebRequest theRequest)
    {
        theRequest.addCookie("testcookie", "whatever");
    }

    public void testCookieEncoding()
    {
        javax.servlet.http.Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();

        assertNotNull("No cookies in request", cookies);

        for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++)
        {
            if (cookies[i].getName().equals("testcookie"))
            {
                assertEquals("whatever", cookies[i].getValue());
                return;
            }
        }

        fail("No cookie named 'testcookie' found");
    }
