Cookies can be non-persistent, removed after closing the browser, or persistent, remaining until logout. Cookies allow maintaining state simply but only support textual data and require cookies to be enabled. The Cookie class provides methods for working with cookies. URL rewriting appends parameters to URLs to pass state between pages without cookies.

    Cookies are used to maintain state between client requests. They can store textual information on the client side in the browser cache.

    There are two types of cookies - non-persistent cookies which are valid for a single session and removed when the browser closes, and persistent cookies which are valid for multiple sessions and not removed when the browser closes.

    Some useful methods of the Cookie class include setMaxAge() to set the maximum age, getName() to return the cookie name, getValue() to return the cookie value, setName() to change the name, and setValue() to change the value.

    Cookies

    Acookieis a small piece of


    information that is persisted between
    the multiple client requests.
    A cookie has a name, a single value,
    and optional attributes such as a
    comment, path and domain
    qualifiers, a maximum age, and a
    version number.

    Working of Cookie
    By default, each request is
    considered as a new request.
    In cookies technique, we add cookie
    with response from the servlet. So
    cookie is stored in the cache of the
    browser.
    After that if request is sent by the
    user, cookie is added with request by
    default. Thus, we recognize the user
    as the old user.

    Types of Cookie
    Non-persistent cookie
    It isvalid for single sessiononly. It is
    removed each time when user closes
    the browser.

    Persistent cookie
    It isvalid for multiple session. It is
    not removed each time when user
    closes the browser. It is removed only if
    user logout or signout.

    Advantage and Disadvantages


    of Cookies
    Advantages
    Simplest technique of maintaining the
    state.
    Cookies are maintained at client side.

    Disadvantages:
    It will not work if cookie is disabled from
    the browser.
    Only textual information can be set in
    Cookie object.

    Cookie class
    javax.servlet.http.Cookieclass
    provides the functionality of using
    cookies. It provides a lot of useful
    methods for cookies.

    Constructor of Cookie class


    Cookie()
    constructs a cookie.

    Cookie(String name, String value)


    constructs a cookie with a specified name
    and value.

    Useful Methods of Cookie class


    public void setMaxAge(int expiry)
    Sets the maximum age of the cookie in
    seconds.

    public String getName()


    Returns the name of the cookie. The name
    cannot be changed after creation.

    public String getValue()


    Returns the value of the cookie.

    public void setName(String name)


    changes the name of the cookie.

    public void setValue(String value)


    changes the value of the cookie.

    Other methods required for


    using Cookies
    For adding cookie or getting the value
    from the cookie, we need some
    methods provided by other interfaces.
    They are:
    public void addCookie(Cookie
    ck):method of HttpServletResponse
    interface is used to add cookie in response
    object.
    public Cookie[] getCookies():method of
    HttpServletRequest interface is used to
    return all the cookies from the browser

    URL Rewriting
    In URL rewriting, we append a token or
    identifier to the URL of the next Servlet or
    the next resource.
    We can send parameter name/value pairs
    using the following format:
    url?name1=value1&name2=value2&??

    A name and a value is separated using an


    equal = sign, a parameter name/value pair is
    separated from another parameter using the
    ampersand(&).
    When the user clicks the hyperlink, the
    parameter name/value pairs will be passed
    to the server. From a Servlet, we can use
    getParameter()
    method
    to
    obtain
    a
    parameter value.

    Advantages and
    Disadvantages:

    Advantage of URL Rewriting


    It will always work whether cookie is
    disabled or not (browser independent).
    Extra form submission is not required on
    each pages.

    Disadvantage of URL Rewriting


    It will work only with links.
    It can send Only textual information.
