what is happening is it is adding a new cookie than updating a existing cookie...

   LOGGER.debug("========Entering removeMyViewedHotel(MyViewedHotelVo myViewedHotel)===========");

      //getting the cookies

        HttpServletResponse res =

                (HttpServletResponse) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext()

                        .getResponse();

        HttpServletRequest req =

                (HttpServletRequest) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext()

                        .getRequest();

        Cookie[] cookies = req.getCookies();

        if(cookies!=null){

            for(int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++){

                if(cookies[i].getName().equalsIgnoreCase("cookieKey-"+myViewedHotel.getViewedAccomoId())){

                    cookies[i].setMaxAge(-1);  

                    req.addCookie(cookies[i]);

                }

            }

        }
