How to set multiple value for a cookie and to retrieve it back?

[JulianInactive KennedyInactive]

When writing the response (before writing any content):

response.addCookie(new Cookie("cookie_one", "value 1"));
response.addCookie(new Cookie("cookie_two", "value 2"));

When reading a subsequent request:

Cookie[] cookies = request.get Cookies(); // no space
String cookieOne = cookies[0].getValue();
String cookieTwo = cookies[1].getValue();

Note that I'm not sure what guarantees are made (if any) that cookies will be returned in the order they were added. You may need to use Cookie.getName() to validate this. For further info read the API docs.
