                        response.setHeader("Cookie-Count", "Hi " + session.getAttribute("name") + " you have " + NumberCookies.length + " cookies");

        }
}

Once again looking at this one it made nice use of an extra function to handle the GET and POST's. I think that was really smart and probably a lot cleaner then my submission.

If I were this author I would think about including comments, (See Submission 1). Comments can REALLY help people overlooking your work see what your intention is. That way in your comments you can defend how you coded something the way you did, or have someone improve in an area you thought was well written.

Very good submission!
