/**
 * 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 RFC 2109 and the RFC 6265 specifications. * By default, cookies are created using RFC 6265. */ public class Cookie implements Cloneable, Serializable { private static final CookieNameValidator validation; static { boolean strictNaming; String prop = System.getProperty("org.apache.tomcat.util.http.ServerCookie.STRICT_NAMING"); if (prop != null) { strictNaming = Boolean.parseBoolean(prop); } else { strictNaming = Boolean.getBoolean("org.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE"); } if (strictNaming) { validation = new RFC2109Validator(); } else { validation = new RFC6265Validator(); } } private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; private final String name; private String value; private int version = 0; // ;Version=1 ... means RFC 2109 style // // Attributes encoded in the header's cookie fields. // private String comment; // ;Comment=VALUE ... describes cookie's use private String domain; // ;Domain=VALUE ... domain that sees cookie private int maxAge = -1; // ;Max-Age=VALUE ... cookies auto-expire private String path; // ;Path=VALUE ...
