Is there any way to read cookies from the response object in Java?

Question

It doesn\'t seem that HttpServletResponse exposes any methods to do this.

Right now, I\'m adding a bunch of logging code to a crufty and ill-understood servlet, in

Answer 1

Cookies are sent to the client in the "Set-Cookie" response header. Try this:

private static void logResponseHeaders(HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse) {

    Collection headerNames = httpServletResponse.getHeaderNames();

    for (String headerName : headerNames) {
        if (headerName.equals("Set-Cookie")) {
            log.info("Response header name={}, header value={}", headerName, httpServletResponse.getHeader(headerName));
        }
    }
}
