Hello joel, hmmm....
I assume the problem with the cookie not disappearing upon browser shutdown is solved, but the issue with seeing this cookie across all webapps on the same server is not solved, right? Now that I think about it, I wonder if the path of "/" in servlets is relative to the context path. Hence, the path of "/" would actually mean "/mycontext/". I'm not sure. You'll have to play around with things. Anyone else know the answer to this for sure?
