Which part of the cookie do you want to read?

The login ID is stored in the cookie 'WWF' under 'UID'

If you want to get the username of the person, you need to read in their User ID from the cookie then match that up in the database to the users record to get their username.

I never used JSP so don't know how you would go about doing this as the syntax would be completely different to ASP.
