If you are receiving the cookie from the client, then you can use the
servlet API. Here is an example showing how to get cookies from the
request: http://pages.about.com/kmukhar/appletServlet/GetCookies.html

If you are creating cookies in the servlet, then again, use the servlet
API.

Cookie cookie = new Cookie(name, value);
response.addCookie(cookie);

If you need multiple cookies, use an array or some other collection. You
should try to avoid treating cookies as a single string of delimited
name value-pairs. Cookies are structured data (namely name-value pairs,
with attributes), and you should try to treat a cookie as an object.
That way you can use the APIs to easily manipulate them.
