Hi all,

I am trying to get the cookie values to display on a page of my web app. It works fine until I try to get any text having a '@' character in it (e.g. '[email protected]' or 'a@a'). In such case it is printing the first few characters before the '@' symbol. Does anyone have any explanation/suggestions?

I used similar code like this:
cookie.jsp

setcookie.jsp

showcookievalue.jsp

<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ page contentType="text/html" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>
<%@ page import="org.apache.regexp.*" %> 
 
<%
String cookieName = "username";
Cookie cookies [] = request.get Cookies ();
Cookie myCookie = null;
if (cookies != null){
for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
if (cookies [i].getName().equals (cookieName)){
myCookie = cookies[i];
break;
}
}
}
%>
 
<html>
<head>
<title>Show Saved Cookie</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
if (myCookie == null) {
%>
No Cookie found with the name <%=cookieName%>
<%
} 
else {
String abc = new String(myCookie.getValue());
%> 
Welcome: <%out.println(" "+abc);%>.
 <!-Here it is not printing the '@' character ->

<%
}
%>
<c:set var="temp" value="${cookie.username.value}" />
The value is: <c :-o	 ut value="${temp}" />
 <!-Here it is not printing the '@' character ->

<c:set var="email" value="${cookie.username.value}"/>
<c:forTokens var="emailtoken" items="${email}" delims="@">
<c :-o	 ut value="${emailtoken}"/> 
</c:forTokens>
</body>
</html>

Ideas or suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks.
