Hi,

Create a stand alone jsp file with the following code, then include the jsp 
in the other jsp where u can create cookies and getcookies value for other 
usage.

-------codes to be in other jsp file to get cookie value-----------
String tmp_id = getCookie(request, "id");
String tmp_password = getCookie(request, "password");

----------- codes to be in the stand alone jsp file-----------------
<%!
public void createCookie( HttpServletResponse response, String name,
                          String value, int expires){
  Cookie c = new Cookie(name, value);
  c.setMaxAge(expires);
  c.setPath("/");
  response.addCookie(c);
}

public String getCookie( HttpServletRequest request, String cookieName){
  Cookie c[] = request.getCookies();
  if(c != null){
    for(int i = 0; i < c.length; i++){ //(1)
      if(c[i].getName().equals(cookieName)){ //(2,3)
      return c[i].getValue(); //(4)
    }
  }
}
return null;
}
%>

Hope this can help!

regards,
James :-)
