Cookies are independent of the J2EE specification: they are part of the
HTTP specification. The servlet specification (part of J2EE) says that
cookies are one supported way of client identification for session tracking.

How did you observe this?

If you say so.

Setting cookies="true" on context.xml only affects the use of cookies
for session handling. It does not affect your application's ability to
use cookies for other reasons.

Yeah, don't do that.

Let's see...
| public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
| HttpServletResponse response)
| throws ServletException, IOException {
| Cookie c1 = new Cookie("userName", "Sandeep");
| Cookie c2 = new Cookie("password", "password");
| response.addCookie(c1);
| response.addCookie(c2);
|
| response.setContentType("text/html");
| PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
| out.println("<HTML>");
| out.println("<HEAD>");
| out.println("<TITLE>Cookie Test</TITLE>");
| out.println("</HEAD>");
| out.println("<BODY>");
| out.println("Please click on the button to see the " +
| "cookies sent to you.");
| out.println("<BR>");
| out.println("<FORM METHOD=POST>");
| out.println("<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=SUBMIT>");
| out.println("</FORM>");
| out.println("</BODY>");
| out.println("</HTML>");
| }
So, this doesn't send any cookies? What if you flush and close the
output writer?
| Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
| int length = cookies.length;
Since the documentation for request.getCookies says that NULL can be
returned, you ought to check for NULL before trying to do something with
your "cookies" reference.
