/**
 *
 * Creates a cookie, a small amount of information sent by a servlet to 
 * a Web browser, saved by the browser, and later sent back to the server.
 * A cookie's value can uniquely 
 * identify a client, so cookies are commonly used for session management.
 * 
 * 

A cookie has a name, a single value, and optional attributes * such as a comment, path and domain qualifiers, a maximum age, and a * version number. Some Web browsers have bugs in how they handle the * optional attributes, so use them sparingly to improve the interoperability * of your servlets. * *

The servlet sends cookies to the browser by using the * {@link HttpServletResponse#addCookie} method, which adds * fields to HTTP response headers to send cookies to the * browser, one at a time. The browser is expected to * support 20 cookies for each Web server, 300 cookies total, and * may limit cookie size to 4 KB each. * *

The browser returns cookies to the servlet by adding * fields to HTTP request headers. Cookies can be retrieved * from a request by using the {@link HttpServletRequest#getCookies} method. * Several cookies might have the same name but different path attributes. * *

Cookies affect the caching of the Web pages that use them. * HTTP 1.0 does not cache pages that use cookies created with * this class. This class does not support the cache control * defined with HTTP 1.1. * *

This class supports both the Version 0 (by Netscape) and Version 1 * (by RFC 2109) cookie specifications. By default, cookies are * created using Version 0 to ensure the best interoperability. * * @author Various */ public class Cookie implements Cloneable, Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = -6454587001725327448L; private static final String TSPECIALS; private static final String LSTRING_FILE = "javax.servlet.http.LocalStrings"; private static ResourceBundle lStrings = ResourceBundle.getBundle(LSTRING_FILE); static { if (Boolean.valueOf(System.getProperty("org.glassfish.web.rfc2109_cookie_names_enforced", "true"))) { TSPECIALS = "/()<>@,;:\\\"[]?={} \t"; } else { TSPECIALS = ",; "; } } // // The value of the cookie itself. // private String name; // NAME= ...
