How can an Applet write/read a cookie for the user's browser without using the JSObject class?

Davanum Srinivas If you are using Internet Explorer, J/Direct can be used to access cookies. Here are the definitions for the native entrypoints.
/** @dll.import("WININET") */
static native boolean InternetGetCookie(
String lpszUrl,
String lpszCookie,
StringBuffer lpBuffer,
int lpdwBufferLength[]);
/** @dll.import("WININET") */
static native boolean InternetSetCookie(
String lpszUrl,
String lpszCookie,
String lpszCookieData);
The usage is as follows:
int len[] = new int[] {1024};
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(len[0]);
boolean bSetCookie = InternetSetCookie(
"http://url.for.the.cookie",
"NameOfTheCookie","Data For the Cookie");
boolean bGetCookie = InternetGetCookie(
"http://url.for.the.cookie",
"NameOfTheCookie",buf,len);
[FAQ Manager note - with standard Java, you can't.]
