You are absolutely correct, it's my fault I didn't read it properly. <br />

I got this method from an older jsp question:<br />
<br />
public static String getCookieValue(String cookieName) {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Cookie[] theCookies = request.getCookies();<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;if (theCookies != null) {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; for (int i =0; i&lt; cookies.length; i++) {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Cookie currentCookie = theCookies[i];<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;if (currentCookie.getName().e<wbr />qualsIgnor<wbr />eCase(cook<wbr />ieName)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return currentCookie.getValue();<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;}<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;return null;<br />
}<br />
<br />
but when I try to use it, I get an error on the line: <br />
<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Cookie[] theCookies = request.getCookies();<br />
<br />
that says package request does not exist.<br />
<br />
Any ideas? <br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Cookie method error

JavaServer Pages (JSP) allow the development of dynamically generated web pages. It uses the Java programming language; JSP pages are translated into servlets at runtime, with each servlet being cached and reused until the JSP is modified. JSP allows Java code to be interleaved with static web markup content, so the resulting page can be compiled and executed on the server to deliver the content.
