Mike-
I dont see the attribute 'duration' with either accessor or mutator
the attribute maxAge which when set to -1 will delete the cookie
Take a look at
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.2/javadoc/javax/servlet/http/Cookie.html
javax.servlet.http.Cookie.setMaxAge(-1);

Subject: Cookie Rookie - cannot delete session cookie
I am pretty new to cookies and am having an issue. I create a cookie in my
servlet and write it to the response to last the lifetime of the session
(duration = -1). When the user clicks the logout button I find the cookie,
reset the duration to 0 then re-add the cookie to the response. But when I
look at the browser cookies the cookie is still there and is listed as a
cookie lasting the lifetime of the session. From what I read in the API
there is nothing to directly remove a cookie from a session, I can only
write it with a duration of 0. So, why is the cookie still in the session?
How can I get rid of it?
TIA
- Mike
