Sending Cookie info in HttpRequest

Question

I want to call a web service that requires an authentication cookie.

I have the cookie name and value. but I don\'t know how to inject the cookie in the request.

Answer 1

There is no method for adding a cookie to an HttpRequest, but you can set a header or parameter.

Cookies are added to the HttpServletResponse like this:

HttpServletResponse response; //initialized or passed in
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("myname", "myvalue");
response.addCookie(cookie);
