The default value of -1 indicates that the cookie will be discarded at the end of the browser/application session.

Returns:

the maximum age in seconds.

isSecure

Whether the cookie will only be sent over a secure connection. Defaults to false.

Returns:

true if the cookie will only be sent over a secure connection, false otherwise.

isHttpOnly

public boolean isHttpOnly()

Returns true if this cookie contains the HttpOnly attribute. This means that the cookie should not be accessible to scripting engines, like javascript.

Returns:

true if this cookie should be considered http only, false otherwise.

Since:

2.0

toCookie

public Cookie toCookie()

Obtain a new instance of a Cookie with the same name, value, path, domain and version as this NewCookie. This method can be used to obtain an object that can be compared for equality with another Cookie; since a Cookie will never compare equal to a NewCookie.

Returns:

a Cookie

toString

public String toString()

Convert the cookie to a string suitable for use as the value of the corresponding HTTP header.

Overrides:

toString in class Cookie

Returns:

a stringified cookie.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Generate a hash code by hashing all of the properties.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Cookie

Returns:

the hash code.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compare for equality. Use toCookie() to compare a NewCookie to a Cookie considering only the common properties.

Overrides:

equals in class Cookie

Parameters:

obj - the object to compare to

Returns:

true if the object is a NewCookie with the same value for all properties, false otherwise.
