how to delete a cookie?????

[Michael Remijan <Mi...@solocup.com>]

...

I'm testing the use of cookies by basically setting up a jsp page in two different contexts and flipping back and forth between them.  I've tried to delete the cookie by calling setMaxAge() with -1, 0, and 1 but i've not been able to been able to successfully delete the cookie, i.e when i flip to the other context i get my "found cookie" message instead of the "cookie missing, adding a new one" message.  Anyone been able to successfully delete a cookie?

You don't specify fully what you're doing to delete the cookie.
Remember, after you set up the cookie (BTW, max age of 0 should delete
it), you need to add the cookie to the response.  Changing the cookie
in the request alone and/or not adding it to the response won't do
anything.
