Are you getting the cookie with request.getCookies() and changing its
maxAge, or creating a new cookie with the same name? I seem to recall
having a problem with IE when doing it the second way, but doing it
the first way worked.

There's no way for Tomcat to know what the max age was on cookies
it gets from the request: The Cookie: header in the HTTP request doesn't
contain this information, it only sends the name and value. The browser
keeps track of the expiration and simply stops sending the Cookie:
header after it passes.
