Unable to remove cookie in play framework 1.2.4

Question

I am using play 1.2.4. I have set a cookie and I am fetching the cookie using the below code --

    @Util
    public static void setCookie(String name, String value) {
        // Setting cookie
        response.setCookie(name, value);
    }

    public static Http.Cookie getCookie(String key) {
        // retrieving cookie by key
        return request.cookies.get(key);
    }

and I am using the below code to remove the cookie --

public static void removeCookie(String key) {
        // removing cookie by key
        request.cookies.remove(key);
    }

but the cookie is not getting removed.

Please suggest where am I going wrong?

N.B. - All the above codes are written in Application.java and I am calling the function from another controller.

Answer 1

I think you should use

response.removeCookie(key);

Answer 2

To remove cookie be sure that you have already included play.mvc.Http.Cookie & play.mvc.Http.Request jar files. You can use this command to remove it.

response().discardCookie("name of cookie");
