Hi,
I am using Windows 2000 Server.Software -JDK1.3 and

J2EE 1.2.Problem is that cookies whose maximum age
signifies persistent are not stored on my machine.
I checked using Search by windows also.
At the same time i get misleading results on use of cookies.
I have used 'Prompt' also on cookies properties.Still its
same despite all properties correct.If this code exemplifies
the problem kindly let me know what to do :-



Here's the code




import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.io.*;

import java.util.*;

import java.sql.*;

public class Cookieadd extends HttpServlet

{

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)

throws ServletException,IOException

{

Connection con=null;

int ctr=0;

boolean cookieFound=false;

Cookie c=null;

String com=new String (" ");

String rt=new String(" ");

String st1="B00";

PrintWriter pw=res.getWriter();

Cookie[] cookieset =req.getCookies();

pw.println(cookieset.length);

for (int i=0;i

{

if (cookieset[i].getName() !=null) {

pw.println(cookieset[i].getName());

}

if (cookieset[i].getName().equals("Booksjargon"))

{

cookieFound=true;

c=cookieset[i];

}

}

if (cookieFound==true) {

pw.println("Hi ! user");

}

if (cookieFound==false) {

pw.println("Welcome to your first shopping");

}

try

{

Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:MyData","","");


Statement st=con.createStatement();

ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("select * from books_for_sale");

ctr=0;

while (rs.next()) {

com=st1+Integer.toString(ctr);

rt=req.getParameter(com);

if ((rt !=null) && (cookieFound==true)) {

res.setContentType("text/html");

c.setValue(com);

c.setMaxAge(3600*24*30);

res.addCookie(c);

}

else if ((cookieFound==false) && (rt !=null))

{

c = new Cookie("Booksjargon",com);

c.setMaxAge(3600*24*30);

res.addCookie(c);

pw.println("A Cookie was added to your system");

}


ctr=ctr+1;

}

}

catch(Exception d)
{

pw.println("Cannot display the record" +d);

}

}
}
