Spring MVC HttpServletResponse not overwriting cookie

Question

Every time a different page is requested, I do the following:

    Cookie cookie = new Cookie("c1", someString); // can be {a, b, c}, for example
    cookie.setMaxAge(31556926);
    response.addCookie(cookie);

    cookie = new Cookie("c2", Integer.toString(someInt));
    cookie.setMaxAge(31556926);
    response.addCookie(cookie);

But when I visit page /page/a, then visit page /page/b (both of which goes to the same method from controller) I notice that my Cookies (from my web dev console in Chrome) has my new cookie BEFORE my old cookie... causing the old cookie to be used by the client. I've tested this also in Firefox. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

It turned out I needed to specify the correct path for the cookie, so I just set the cookie's path to /
