When ever you use forward tag ensure that the forward is done before any
response is sent to the client using the response object.
this seems to be the problem in your case, as this response never
reaches the
client.

Subject: Cookie problem
Hello everyone, i have the following code in a jsp file, i want to set a
cookie to remember the loginname and the checkbox value, if the checkbox
value is null (is not checked) i want to kill/destroy the cookie... if
it's
not null i want it to set the cookies...
when i use the following line without the last jsp:forward tag, it works
fine, if i use jsp:frward tag, it doesn't work, it always remembers the
cookie, it doesn't destroy it...
any suggestion from you guys...
also what is the best way to bestroy a cookie, is there a method, or you
just setMaxAge to zero...
Thank you.

String loginName = request.getParameter ("txtLoginName");
String remember = request.getParameter ("chkRemember");
Cookie oneCookie = null;
if (remember == null ) {
oneCookie = new Cookie("Login", "");
oneCookie.setMaxAge(0);
oneCookie.setPath("/");
response.addCookie(oneCookie);
oneCookie = new Cookie("Remember", "");
oneCookie.setMaxAge(0);
oneCookie.setPath("/");
response.addCookie(oneCookie);
}
else if (remember.equals("Remember")) {
oneCookie = new Cookie("Login", loginName);
oneCookie.setMaxAge(10000);
oneCookie.setPath("/");
response.addCookie(oneCookie);
oneCookie = new Cookie("Remember", remember);
oneCookie.setMaxAge(10000);
oneCookie.setPath("/");
response.addCookie(oneCookie);
}
