They are mainly used to recognize a user on the web server.<\/p>\n<p>Cookies are sent from server to the client (browser). Client&#8217;s local machine contains this piece of information called Cookies. Further, all these cookies(in their domain) are sent to the server for all the subsequent requests made by the client so that the server can either identify a user or can use it for other purposes like tracking etc.<\/p>\n<p>Clients can flush cookies or they expire when they reach their maximum age. Some methods discussed below can define its domains.<\/p>\n<h3>Types of Cookies in JSP<\/h3>\n<p>There are basically two types of cookies:<br \/>\n<strong>1. Persistent cookies:<\/strong> These cookies are also known as permanent cookies. They remain on the hard drive and persist until the user deletes them or they expire themselves.<br \/>\n<strong>2. Session cookies:<\/strong> These cookies are also known as temporary cookies. They get deleted themselves as soon as the session ends or the browser closes.<\/p>\n<h3>Working of JSP Cookies(Uses)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A cookie can be used to remember the username and password for any site.<\/li>\n<li>A cookie can be used for Session management. The server may store a session id on the client side. When the method getSession() is called then this session ID can be sent by the client to the server to identify it.<\/li>\n<li>Session management using cookies fails for the users that keep their cookies blocked as no information can be saved on the client&#8217;s side.<\/li>\n<li>A cookie can be used to remember the preference of the user.<\/li>\n<li>We can use the method isRequestSessionIdFromCookie to see if the cookies are being used or not. If this method returns true then the cookies are being used otherwise not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Structure of Cookies in JSP<\/h3>\n<p>A cookie sent by a JSP page in HTTP header looks like this:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">HTTP\/1.1 200 OK\r\nDate: Sat, 25 Apr 2020 21:03:38 GMT\r\nServer: Apache\/9.0.34 (WINDOWS) PHP\/4.0b3\r\nSet-Cookie: name = my_name; expires = Sun, 26-Apr-20 21:03:38 GMT;\r\n   path = \/\/; domain = identify.com\r\nConnection: close\r\nContent-Type: text\/html\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>A cookie saved in the browser may look like this:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">GET \/ HTTP\/1.0\r\nConnection: Keep-Alive\r\nUser-Agent: Mozilla\/4.6 (X11; I; Windows 10-15apmac ppc)\r\nHost: localhost.demon.co.in:1126\r\nAccept: image\/gif, *\/*\r\nAccept-Encoding: gzip\r\nAccept-Language: en_IN\r\nAccept-Charset: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8\r\nCookie: name = my_name\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>Cookie Class<\/h3>\n<p>javax.servlet.http.Cookie class provides constructors and methods to extend the functionality of cookies in a JSP code.<\/p>\n<h3>Constructor for Cookies<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Constructor available<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Description<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cookie()<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is a constructor that will construct a cookie.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cookie(String name, String value)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is a constructor that will construct a cookie with mentioned name and value.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>JSP Cookies Methods<\/h3>\n<p>JSP supports HTTP cookies.

Setting cookies in JSP<\/h4>\n<p>Setting a cookie in JSP involves three important steps. These steps are<\/p>\n<p><strong>a. Creating an object of Cookie type<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this step we call a constructor i.e. Cookie. Create an object that will take the values. Pass two string values in this constructor that will be the key and cookie value. Syntax is as follows:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">Cookie cookie = new Cookie(\u201ckey\u201d, \u201cvalue\u201d)<\/pre>\n<p>E.g. Cookie name = new Cookie(\u201cmy_name\u201d, request.getParameter(\u201cmy_name\u201d));<br \/>\nA cookie object and its value follows some naming conventions. They should not contain symbols like [ ] ( ) = , &#8221; \/ ? @ : ; and white spaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>b. Set the age of cookie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Age of a cookie, as the name suggests, how long a cookie should survive. This can be set by setting the maximum age of the cookie. Age of a cookie is set in seconds. Syntax is as follows:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">cookie.setMaxAge(seconds)\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>E.g. name.setMaxAge(60*60*24) (Max age of cookie is 24 hours in this example)<\/p>\n<p><strong>c. Pass it as a response in HTTP header<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The third and final step to set a cookie is by adding it to the HTTP response headers. Syntax is:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">response.addCookie(cookie);<\/pre>\n<p>E.g. response.addCookie(name);<\/p>\n<p>A detailed example with explanation has been shown below to set a cookie following all the above steps: The code below is for setting the cookies.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">one.jsp\r\n&lt;%\r\n   \/\/ Creating cookies for name and age.  \t\r\n   Cookie name = new Cookie(\"User_name\", request.getParameter(\"User_name\"));\r\n   Cookie age = new Cookie(\"Age\", request.getParameter(\"Age\"));\r\n   Cookie gender = new Cookie(\"Gender\", request.getParameter(\"Gender\"));\r\n  \r\n   \/\/ Setting expiry date\r\n   name.setMaxAge(60*60*24);\r\n   age.setMaxAge(60*60*24);\r\n   gender.setMaxAge(60*60*24);\r\n  \r\n   \/\/ Add both the cookies in the response header.\r\n   response.addCookie( name );\r\n   response.addCookie( age );\r\n   response.addCookie( gender );\r\n%&gt;\r\n \r\n&lt;html&gt;\r\n   &lt;head&gt;\r\n  \t&lt;title&gt;Set Cookies&lt;\/title&gt;\r\n   &lt;\/head&gt;\r\n  \r\n   &lt;body&gt;\r\n               \t&lt;h2&gt;--DataFlair--&lt;h2&gt;\r\n     \t&lt;h2&gt;Here we are setting Cookies&lt;\/h2&gt;\r\n  \t\r\n  \t&lt;ul&gt;\r\n         &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;User Name:&lt;\/b&gt;\r\n        \t&lt;%= request.getParameter(\"User_name\")%&gt;\r\n     \t&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/li&gt;\r\n         &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Age:&lt;\/b&gt;\r\n        \t&lt;%= request.getParameter(\"Age\")%&gt;\r\n     \t&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/li&gt;\r\n               \t &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gender:&lt;\/b&gt;\r\n                         \t&lt;%=request.getParameter(\"Gender\")%&gt;\r\n               \t &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/li&gt;\r\n  \t&lt;\/ul&gt;\r\n  \r\n   &lt;\/body&gt;\r\n&lt;\/html&gt;\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>The above code will set the cookie: creating specified objects, setting their max ages and adding them to HTTP header response. Now we will make a simple form to get the values using the code below:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">&lt;html&gt;\r\n   &lt;body&gt;\r\n  \t\r\n  \t&lt;form action = \"one.jsp\" method = \"GET\"&gt;\r\n     \tUser Name: &lt;br\/&gt;&lt;input type = \"text\" name = \"User_name\"&gt;\r\n     \t&lt;br \/&gt;\r\n     \tAge: &lt;br\/&gt;&lt;input type = \"text\" name = \"Age\" \/&gt;\r\n     \t&lt;br\/&gt;\r\n               \t Gender:&lt;\/br&gt;&lt;input type = \"text\" name = \"Gender\"&gt;\r\n               \t &lt;br\/&gt;\r\n               \t &lt;input type = \"submit\" value = \"Go\" \/&gt;\r\n  \t&lt;\/form&gt;\r\n  \t\r\n   &lt;\/body&gt;\r\n&lt;\/html&gt;\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Save the file in the ROOT directory of apache tomcat. First run the file hello.jsp. It will give the following output:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/image3-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-81432\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/image3-4.png\" alt=\"set cookies in jsp\" width=\"1366\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/image3-4.png 1366w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/image3-4-300x59.png 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/image3-4-1024x201.png 1024w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/image3-4-150x29.png 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/image3-4-768x151.png 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/image3-4-520x102.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fill the details asked and click on the go button.

Reading cookies in JSP<\/h4>\n<p>Reading the set cookies is a simple process. We need to create an object of Cookie type and an array of Cookie type. Then we will get all the cookies in this array using the request.getCookie() method of HttpServletRequest. We then apply if loop and get the name and value of these cookies using the method getName() and getValue()<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">two.jsp\r\n&lt;html&gt;\r\n   &lt;head&gt;\r\n  \t&lt;title&gt;Read Cookies&lt;\/title&gt;\r\n   &lt;\/head&gt;\r\n  \r\n   &lt;body&gt;\r\n  \t\r\n     \t&lt;h1&gt;Reading Cookies that we set&lt;\/h1&gt;\r\n \t\r\n  \t&lt;%\r\n     \tCookie my_cookie = null;\r\n     \tCookie[] my_cookies = null;\r\n     \t\r\n     \t\/\/ Get an array of Cookies associated with the this domain\r\n     \tmy_cookies = request.getCookies();\r\n     \t\r\n     \tif( my_cookies != null ) {\r\n        \tout.println(\"&lt;h2&gt; Found Cookies Name and Value&lt;\/h2&gt;\");\r\n        \t\r\n        \tfor (int i = 0; i &lt; my_cookies.length; i++) {\r\n           \tmy_cookie = my_cookies[i];\r\n           \tout.print(\"Name : \" + my_cookie.getName( ) + \",  \");\r\n           \tout.print(\"Value: \" + my_cookie.getValue( )+\" &lt;br\/&gt;\");\r\n        \t}\r\n     \t} else {\r\n        \tout.println(\"&lt;h2&gt;No cookies founds&lt;\/h2&gt;\");\r\n     \t}\r\n  \t%&gt;\r\n   &lt;\/body&gt;  \r\n&lt;\/html&gt;\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Running this code, we get the values of cookies we read.

Deleting cookies in JSP<\/h4>\n<p>Now, while deleting the cookies in JSP, we follow similar steps to what we did in setting the cookies. We firstly read an already set cookie and then store it in an object of cookie type. Then we set the age of the cookie as zero in order to delete the cookie using the method setMaxAge(0) method.
