What is jCookie ?

jCookie is a free, open source Java library for easy and robust cookie handling in client-side Java applications. It has been designed and implemented by Sonal Bansal.

Client-side HTTP state management (or cookie handling) is important for Java applications that need to interact with Web applications like email or online banking services.

Though there exist several client-side HTTP state management APIs, they are (IMHO) difficult to learn and unnecessarily reinvent the wheel. jCookie is thin, robust, and uses the core Java API objects as far as possible.
