Apache HttpClient 4..3 - how do you set cookie with sessionID for Publish request

do you know me how you can store jsessionid in cookie, so it may be passed towards the servlet with publish request? I am using Apache HttpClient version 4..3. All of the solutions I have found describes how to get this done with HttpClient 3.1. I have read tutorial and attempted this, however it is not working.

HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(postData);
CookieStore cookieStore = new BasicCookieStore();
BasicClientCookie cookie = new BasicClientCookie("JSESSIONID", getSessionId());
cookieStore.addCookie(cookie);
client.setCookieStore(cookieStore);
response = client.execute(httppost);

Edit - further explanations
I am hooking up to servlets compiled by friend. I have drenched in and acquired jsessionid. Now I wish to send another request and want to pass through jsessionid for authorization purpose. Servlet works fine because I made use of java HttpURLConnection, set the cookie, passed it also it labored. With HttpClient I recieve no exceptions however the return code from friend's servlet signifies that there is no sessionid within the request.

Another Edit - I have got one solution I set the parameter of request header also it labored. Servlet recognized sessionid.
httppost.setHeader("Cookie", "JSESSIONID="+ getSessionId());

Now my real question is: Is method correct?

java apache cookies post httpclient

Used to do it by passing the cookie with the HttpContext:

HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();

localContext.setAttribute(ClientContext.COOKIE_STORE, cookieStore);

response = client.execute(httppost, localContext);

I'm so glad to resolve this issue:

HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(postData); CookieStore cookieStore = new BasicCookieStore(); BasicClientCookie cookie = new BasicClientCookie("JSESSIONID", getSessionId());
//cookie.setDomain("your domain");cookie.setPath("/");

 cookieStore.addCookie(cookie); client.setCookieStore(cookieStore); response = client.execute(httppost);

Very Easy!
