下面也是一个搜索引擎界面的例子，通过修改前面HTTP状态代码的例子得到。在这个Servlet中，用户界面是动态生成而不是由静态HTML文件提供的。Servlet除了负责读取表单数据并把它们发送给搜索引擎之外，还要把包含表单数据的Cookie发送给客户端。以后客户再次访问同一表单时，这些Cookie的值将用来预先填充表单，使表单自动显示最近使用过的数据。
SearchEnginesFrontEnd.java
该Servlet构造一个主要由表单构成的用户界面。第一次显示的时候，它和前面用静态HTML页面提供的界面差不多。然而，用户选择的值将被保存到Cookie（本页面将数据发送到CustomizedSearchEngines Servlet，由后者设置Cookie）。用户以后再访问同一页面时，即使浏览器是退出之后再启动，表单中也会自动填好上一次搜索所填写的内容。
注意该Servlet用到了ServletUtilities.java，其中getCookieValue前面已经介绍过，headWithTitle用于生成HTML页面的一部分。另外，这里也用到了前面已经说明的LongLiveCookie类，我们用它来创建作废期限很长的Cookie。

CustomizedSearchEngines.java
前面的SearchEnginesFrontEnd Servlet把数据发送到CustomizedSearchEngines Servlet。本例在许多方面与前面介绍HTTP状态代码时的例子相似，区别在于，本例除了要构造一个针对搜索引擎的URL并向用户发送一个重定向应答之外，还要发送保存用户数据的Cookies。

Cookie searchStringCookie =
new LongLivedCookie("searchString", searchString);
response.addCookie(searchStringCookie);
searchString = URLEncoder.encode(searchString);
String numResults = request.getParameter("numResults");
Cookie numResultsCookie =
new LongLivedCookie("numResults", numResults);
response.addCookie(numResultsCookie);
String searchEngine = request.getParameter("searchEngine");

new LongLivedCookie("searchEngine", searchEngine);
response.addCookie(searchEngineCookie);
SearchSpec[] commonSpecs = SearchSpec.getCommonSpecs();
for(int i=0; i＜commonSpecs.length; i++) {
SearchSpec searchSpec = commonSpecs[i];
if (searchSpec.getName().equals(searchEngine)) {
String url =
searchSpec.makeURL(searchString, numResults);
response.sendRedirect(url);
return;
}
}
response.sendError(response.SC_NOT_FOUND,
"No recognized search engine specified.");
}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
doGet(request, response);
}
}
