The getCookies() method in HttpServletRequest is used to retrieve an array of all cookies sent with the request. Cookies are small data files that are stored on the client-side, usually within a user's web browser. These files are sent with every request to a website and can be used to personalize the user experience.
Example 1: Retrieving all cookies from an HTTP request
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies(); if (cookies != null) { for (Cookie cookie : cookies) { String name = cookie.getName(); String value = cookie.getValue(); // do something with the cookie } }
Example 2: Retrieving a specific cookie by name from an HTTP request
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies(); if (cookies != null) { for (Cookie cookie : cookies) { if (cookie.getName().equals("myCookieName")) { String value = cookie.getValue(); // do something with the cookie } } }
The HttpServletRequest is part of the Java Servlet API, which is included in many popular Java libraries such as Apache Tomcat and Jetty.
