Does anyone know how to actually delete a cookie as setMaxAge(0) doesn't
seem to do anything at all in the code below.

public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();

        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

        response.setContentType("text/html");

        out.println("<html><head><title>ClearCookies</title></head><body>");
        out.println("<h2>ClearCookies</h2><hr>");

        if (cookies != null) {
          for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
            out.println("Deleting: " + cookies[i].getName() + "<br>");
            cookies[i].setMaxAge(0);
          }

          out.println("<p>");
          out.println("<b>Your cookies have been deleted</b>");
        } else {
          out.println("<b>No cookies to delete</b>");
        }

        out.println("<hr></body></html>");

        out.close();
    }
