BBjspWebResponse::createCookie (Deprecated)

Description

In BBj 18.0 and higher, this method returns a new BBjCookie object with the name set.

You should set the value of the cookie and any other attributes before adding it to the BBjspWebResponse by calling BBjspWebResponse::addCookie(BBjCookie).

Syntax

Return Value	Method
BBjCookie	createCookie(string name)

Parameters

Variable	Description
name	Specifies the name of the cookie.

Return Value

a new BBjCookie object with the name set.

Remarks

The example below shows how to add a new cookie through the BBjspWebResponse object. Note that you must execute the cookie's BBjCookie::setValue(String) and BBjCookie::setMaxAge(int) methods in order to successfully create the cookie.

Example

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP web-page

<%
    cookie! = #Response!.createCookie("MyCookie")
    cookie!.setValue("My cookie data")
    #Response!.addCookie(cookie!)
%>

    
        Hello from BBJSP

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP servlet

class public MyServlet
    field private BBjspWebRequest request!
    field private BBjspWebResponse response!
    field private BBjspWebSession session!
    
    method public void service(BBjspServletContext context!) 
             
        #request! = context!.getRequest()
        #response! = context!.getResponse()
        #response!.setContentType("text/html")
        s! = #response!.getOutputStream()
        
        cookie! = #response!.createCookie("MyCookie")
        cookie!.setValue("My cookie data")
        
        response!.addCookie(cookie!)
        
        s!.write("Hello from BBJSP")
        s!.write("")
