Jersey Client: Adding Cookies to Request

Question

I am trying to write a library that accesses a RESTful web service using the Jersey Client API. The service requires a login request that sets a cookie, then subsequent requests must have that cookie set to succeed. The login request works as expected, and I am able to retrieve the cookie in the response from the login, but cannot seem to add the cookie back in subsequent requests. Can anyone tell what I might be doing wrong. Here is the code that makes the request:

MultivaluedMap qs = new MultivaluedMapImpl();
qs.add( "xml", this.toXmlString() );

WebResource wr = client.resource( Constants.ServiceURL );    
if ( CookieJar.Cookies != null )
{
  for ( NewCookie c : CookieJar.Cookies )
  {
    logger.debug( "Setting cookie " + c.getName() );
    wr.cookie( c );
  }
}

ClientResponse response = wr.queryParams( qs ).get( ClientResponse.class );

While the request doesn't fail, the service responds with the application error "No Session". Here is the log trace of the request sequence:

Jul 15, 2011 5:20:33 PM com.sun.jersey.api.client.filter.LoggingFilter log
INFO: 1 * Client out-bound request
1 > GET https://www.company.com/TrackerXMLInterface.asp?xml=%3Cxml%3E%3CTRANTYPE%3ELOGIN%3C/TRANTYPE%3E%3CTRANPARMS%3E%3CLOGINID%3Emylogin%3C/LOGINID%3E%3CPASSPHRASE%3EBa1b2c3%3C/PASSPHRASE%3E%3C/TRANPARMS%3E%3C/xml%3E

[continued below]

I'm thinking the following request should have the cookies in the header:

R04No Session

Any guidance on this is much appreciated.

This is the jersey v2 equivalent for @Emmanuel Touzery's Answer:

import org.glassfish.jersey.apache.connector.ApacheClientProperties;
import org.glassfish.jersey.apache.connector.ApacheConnectorProvider;
...

...
ClientConfig config = new ClientConfig();
config.connectorProvider(new ApacheConnectorProvider());
config.property(ApacheClientProperties.DISABLE_COOKIES, false);
client = ClientBuilder.newClient(config);
