Thanks for your attention! The question stays alive because this plugin runs
fine on OC4J(Oracle) environment, but its always a failure on Tomcat env.
Any other help would be appreciated.
Euclides.

Cookie exchanges fall into one of two categories:

 - what the server sends to the client
 - what the client sends back to the server

Tomcat wouldn't fetch the value; the client's browser sends it.

Setting the max age of a cookie to zero is the proper way to delete a
cookie.  When doing the deletion, are you sure that the name, domain,
and path values are identical to the ones used when the cookie was
initially set?
