David,
The FAQ says this...but I haven't tried it yet....Hope this helps....
39) How do I delete a cookie with JSP? TOC
From: Chris Fesler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
A little more experimentation, and I came up with a method to delete
cookies. Say that I have a cookie called "foo," that I set a while ago & I
want it to go away. I simply:
<%
Cookie killCookie = new Cookie("foo", null);
killCookie.setPath("/");
killCookie.setMaxAge(0);
response.addCookie(killCookie);
%>
Note that this is -not- how the JSDK documentation indicates cookies
are to be deleted, but what the heck -- it seems to work.
