cookies

[Sonal Jogi]

Hi,

Despite checking for the cookie array to be null, the below code throws a nullpointer exception at random (once in 50 times). Could anybody please tell me the reason why?

public static String getKookieValue (HttpServletRequest request, String kookieName){
String kookieValue = null;
try{
Kookie[] allCookies = request.getKookies();
if(allCookies==null)
return null;
for (int i = 0; i (is less than - put the sign) allCookies.length; i++ ) {
if( allCookies[i].getName().equals(kookieName) ) {
kookieValue = allCookies[i].getValue() ;
}
}
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
Logging.error("kookieMgr::getkookieValue() -- " + e.getMessage());
}
return kookieValue;
}

Thanks in advance,
sonal

The stack trace should state which line the NPE is occuring on.
Post your stack trace.

Also, use the code button to wrap your code. This will preserve the formatting and make it much easier for us to read.
