Read cookies using ASP.NET written using JSP

Since cookies are stored on the client (in the browser), the server-side language (JSP or ASP) shouldn't matter :)     The actual cookie gets set using JavaScript. So, your ASP/JSP/etc. code would need to generate the appropriate JavaScript to accomplish the task.

Here is an article on how to get and set cookies, if it helps: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/article.php/3470821

Additionally there are two issues:
If you your jsp site and the asp site are on different domains, they won't be able to read each other's cookies for security reasons.

Have you considered passing values using a GET or a POST instead?
Using a GET, you'd pass them like  http://site/yourasp.aspx?name=John&age=30&id=1234 sort of thing.
Using a POST, you'd need to construct a <form> and then submit it using JavaScript.

for example

<form action="youraspx.aspx" id="myForm">
    <input type="hidden" name="name" value="John">
    <input type="hidden" name="age" value="30">
    <input type="hidden" name="id" value="1234">
</form>
<script language="JavaScript">
   document.getElementById('myForm').submit();
</script>


The GET is the easiest to accomplish, but the value you're passing will be seen in the address bar. If it is something like a password/confidential information, or something that could be pretty long (i.e. a couple of hundred characters), then you'd need to use the POST or cookies.

Hope that helps!

Try adding an expiry date to you cookies eg
Response.Cookies("TestCookie").expire = date() + 7

barnesd1....Which side (JSP or ASP) are you suggesting I add that?  That looks like ASP code but I'm setting the cookie on the JSP side.

enwhysee....I tried what you suggested about the cookie, but could not get it to read on the ASP side.  The JSP and ASP pages are in the same domain; In my current case "localhost".  In addition, as JavaScript is many times disabled in my environment (plus I need the cookie values in ASP not JavaScript) I can't rely on JavaScript.  Also, the demo in the article you provided didn't work.  I have considered both of the GET and POST methods, and I know they will work.  However, I need to provide justification to my decision of which method (GET/POST/Cookie) I use.  I basicly need to know if I can use cookies (and how) as I have described.

I have solved this issue.  JSP was setting the path attribute of the cookie automatically to the path of the jsp file.  And, since the ASP page is in a different path it couldn't read the cookie.  I coded the path of the cookie to match the ASP page (or just "/" would work) and I can now read the cookie.

Thanks for your help.
