using browser's cookies to save webApplication data

Question

In my GWT Web Application I want to save some of my app-s data in user's browser cookies. Such as Layout condition, that are changing by user. How can I do this?

Do consider performance impact for your get/post calls as they transmit cookie data on every call!!! — appbootup, Feb 05 '13 at 15:06

Simple! look at: http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/1.6/com/google/gwt/user/client/Cookies.html

Also take a look at Window object

In GWT there is a class

import com.google.gwt.user.client.Cookies;

Is it what you are looking for

//get  cookie with name of the cookie
    String msg = Cookies.getCookie("cookiename");


    //set cookie  with name 

    Cookies.setCookie("cookiename",msg);

Remeber cookie with no value returns null .
