Thank you for a quick response . I have tried to setMaxAge(-1) and
setMaxAge(0) but they are not expiring the cookie.
Even though I close all the browser windows. After retrieving the cookies
"cookInfo" by using loop I'm using
cookInfo.setMaxAge(0);
OR
cookInfo.setMaxAge(-1);
cookInfo.setPath("/");
response.addCookie(cookInfo);
But this does't work.What may be wrong?
