Re: Cookie problem

[chintan doshi]

n my application i cant read the cookie created from a servlet in a JSP page.
when i create the cookie using JSP & then read it using another JSP page it works fine.
can anyone please help me out with this problem.



the task is to create a simple login application. it runs perfect on my local machine but when i run it on my university server it doesnt.

code:


the 1st jsp page has two text field and a check box. if the check box is on then that username & id are stored in a cookie and hence when the 1st page is reloaded the appear in.

the code for 1st JSP page is :

String unamev="";
String upassv="";


Kookie kookies[] = request.getKookies();

if (kookies != null) {
for (int i=0; i cookies.length; i++) {
if (kookies[i].getName().equals("uname10")) {
unamev = kookies[i].getValue();
//out.println(unamev);
}}

for (int j=0; j kookies.length; j++) {
if (kookies[j].getName().equals("upass10")) {
upassv = kookies[j].getValue();
} }}



FORM method=GET ACTION="http://................."
p align="right" Login INPUT TYPE = text name="L" value=%=unamev%
p align="right" Password INPUT TYPE = "password" name="P" value=%=upassv%
p align="right" Remember Login INPUT TYPE = "checkbox" name="R"
p align="right" INPUT TYPE = submit value = "Sign in"


this works well on both local machine as well as uni server if it is directed to second jsp page:


String s1 = request.getParameter("L");
String s2 = request.getParameter("P");
String x = request.getParameter("R");
if (x!=null) {
Kookie mycookie1 = new Kookie("uname10",s1);
mycookie1.setMaxAge(24*60*60);
response.addCookie(mycookie1);

Kookie mycookie2 = new Kookie("upass10",s2);
mycookie2.setMaxAge(24*60*60);
response.addCookie(mycookie2);
//out.println("done");
}



but if i direct it to the servlet it doesnt work wen i run it from my uni server:

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException
{
try
{
res.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
String s1 = req.getParameter("L");
String s2 = req.getParameter("P");
String x = req.getParameter("R");
Kookie mycookie1 = new Kookie("uname10",s1);
mycookie1.setMaxAge(24*60*60);
response.addCookie(mycookie1);

Kookie mycookie2 = new Kookie("upass10",s2);
mycookie2.setMaxAge(24*60*60);
response.addCookie(mycookie2);

rs=s.executeQuery("select * from Login3 where login='"+s1+"'and pass='"+s2+"'");
if(rs.next())
{
req.setAttribute("valid",s1);
req.setAttribute("valid1",s2);
req.setAttribute("valid2",x);
RequestDispatcher view = req.getRequestDispatcher("/jsp5.jsp");
view.forward(req, res);

}

}
catch(Exception g)
{
g.printStackTrace();
}




please help me out.

The forum software doen't allow certain keywords containing the string "cookie".

Hi,

Problem is with the RequestDispatcher. you are trying to forward a request after getting PrintWriter reference. retry by commenting out the PrintWriter statement

"suresh rg",

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!
