Unable to access cookies

[badrifx]

Hi,

Highly appreciate if someone can point out why this is not working.

On clicking a hyperlink, I am checking the username, roles & setting values in cookie inside a filter class.
userCookie = new Cookie("username", userName);
httpResponse.addCookie(userCookie);
chain.doFilter(httpRequest, httpResponse);

public class AdminMain implements EntryPoint {

public void onModuleLoad() {
String user = Cookies.getCookie("username");
}}

The user value is always coming in as null. In the filter class, proper value is being set.

Is there any alternate way to receive the username?

Thanks.
