Java EE aplication won't resolve Cookie symbol

Question

I have a basic jsp application and when I try to create a cookie, it won't find the library or have any idea what a "Cookie" is. Any ideas why?

  </head>
  <body>
  <div>
    <div>
      <form method="post">
        <div>Username: </div>
        <input type="text" name="user"/>
          <%
              String user = request.getParameter("user");
              if (user != null) {
                  Cookie cookie = new Cookie();
                  response.addCookie(new Cookie("user", user));
                  response.sendRedirect("/main.jsp");
              }
          %>

      </form>
    </div>
  </div>
  </body>
</html>

Any error messages you can add to the question? Not my area of expertise, but may help someone else answer. — James Jones, Jun 07 '16 at 10:44

Just like with all other classes (except those in java.lang), you need to use the fully qualified name or add an import statement.

<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.Cookie" %>
