Sending Multiple Cookies

While using REST API sometimes there is requirement to to maintain the cookies or session between the client and server so to maintain this you need to pass all the cookies as part of request as well as part of response. So here is the little code snippet to send cookies as part of response in Jersey Rest API.

//Create an instance of Response Builder with OK response.
ResponseBuilder rb = Response.OK();

//Setting One Cookie
rb.cookie(new Cookie("Key","Value"));

//Setting multiple cookies in response reading from cookieMap
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : cookieMap.entrySet()) {

    rb.cookie(new Cookie(entry.getKey() , entry.getValue()));

}

//building and returning response object
return rb.build();

Above In the code cookieMap is the map container of cookies where key is cookie name and key’s value is cookie value.
