Question

I am Setting a Cookie in the Servlet as Below

  Cookie NameCookie = new Cookie("Name", "Mugil Vannan");         
  NameCookie.setMaxAge(30*60);
  response.addCookie(NameCookie);

  Cookie LocationCookie = new Cookie("Location", "India");
  LocationCookie.setMaxAge(30*60);
  response.addCookie(LocationCookie);

After setting the cookie I am Trying to access the Particular Cookie set Under Name

Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();            


  for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) 
  {
        Cookie cookie = cookies[i].getName().equals("Name");

        String cookieName  = cookie.getName();
        String cookieValue = cookie.getValue();
        out.print(cookieValue);
  }

Now Its getting displayed as TypeMismatch:Cannot Convert Boolean to Cookie at

cookies[i].getName().equals(“Name”);

Any Idea Why this Happens

Answer 1

I think this is your problem Cookie cookie = cookies[i].getName().equals("Name");

Did you mean:

Cookie cookie = cookies[i];
if (cookie.getName().equals("Name")) {
    String cookieName  = cookie.getName();
    String cookieValue = cookie.getValue();
    out.print(cookieValue);
}
