One thing to watch out for ... you must do this before sending any
output to the output stream (or writer). Otherwise, it is likely that
the HTTP headers have already been created (which is how the cookie gets
communicated to the browser), and calling this will have no effect.

What I do to verify cookies with Netscape (I think there's a similar
gadget in IE) is set the option that says "warn me before accepting a
cookie". This gives you a pop-up dialog that shows the cookie name and
value, the age (if you set it), and what domains it will get sent back
to. And, you can choose to accept or not accept the cookie if you want
to test how your app behaves if cookies are turned off.

As mentioned above, it's probably the placement of where you try to set
the cookie.
