Thanks alot for your reply.
The below code is working independently with JSP in Tomcat,
Please replace K with C

Kookie Kook1 = new Kookie("sred11573", "sreedhar");
cook1.setMaxAge (36500000);
response.addCookie (cook1);
Kookie[] cook2 = request.getKookies();
System.out.println("length--"+cook2.length);

But if I test in WAS5.1 with Struts1.2.9 and Servlet 1.2 then it is not working.
The cookies are not adding so last SOP is not printing as expected.

Hope clear now.
Working in IE 6.0

Thanks a lot for your replies.
I tried some thing and found some thing but still surprise what is going on at behind the screen really surprisied and scared.
The following code is perfectly working on WAS 5.1 ,

System.out.println("Cookies testing--");
Cookie cook1 =  new Cookie("s51", "Sr11");
 
cook1.setMaxAge (50300000);
cook1.setPath ("/");
response.addCookie (cook1);
 

 

Strange is if I decrease the Max age value the cookis are not adding to browsers.
But,in tomcat it is taking any value which is lesser than above value also.
Please help me.
I want my cookie should alive only for 1yr but with above it is 1.6 years.

Still waiting for solution

I dont see anything in the kookie RFC or the servlet API that prescribes a maximum Max-Age value. Perhaps your browser is rejecting or deleting the cookie for some other reason? Is there a possibility that some other code is modifying the Max-Age?

How are you determining that the browser is not getting the cookie?

Using broswer options I am seeing that cookie. Which is very easy in firefox.
But still my problem as is.
