Servlets and Cookies
Hi I am trying to set a cookie in a servlet and redirecting the servlet to a static html page. In the html page I have javascript code which is unable to read the cookie set by the servlet. Quick help is appriciated
Note: Servlet is running on the WebSphere where webshpere on port 10200 and the HTML page is on the same server but on a different port 80
package com.dcx.media;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;
public class LDAPCookieTest extends HttpServlet implements SingleThreadModel {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException,IOException {
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
//sending the parameter to the servlet to which html page it should go to.
buildCookie(URLInfo,res,out);
}
public void buildCookie(String URLInfo,HttpServletResponse response,PrintWriter out) {
try {
Cookie cok = new Cookie("testProfile","ValuesoftheURL");
cok.setDomain(".chrysler.com");
response.addCookie(cok);
out.println("Cookie Value"+cok.getValue());
response.sendRedirect(http://host.chrysler.com:port/filename.html);
}
catch (Exception e)
{ }
}
}
HTML file filename.html is as follows
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function getCookie(Name) {
var search = Name;
if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search);
if (offset != -1) { // if cookie exists
offset += search.length+1;// set index of beginning of value
end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset)
// set index of end of cookie value
if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length;
//alert("cookie :"+document.cookie.substring(0,end));
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
}
}
}
document.writeln("Cookie Value is "+getCookie("testProfile"));
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<html>
