if you google for 'jsp cookie' you will find http://www.roseindia.net/jsp/jspcookies.shtml If so, where do I find it? If not, how can I implement it?

Alternatively you can implement java beans to perform the authentication decisions. Any web application that uses authentication needs to perform these steps at every request (page view) Hope this helps. Regards, Serge Fonville
