Cookie not being writtern

Question

hi there,
I am having a hard time debugging this simple issue. I tired all my brain and luck but didn't move a bit. Here is my code to write a cookie.
String iCart = "test";
out.println(iCart);
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("iCart",iCart);
cookie.setDomain(".mydomain.com");
cookie.setPath("/");
response.addCookie (cookie);   After writing this cookie, If I go to firefox -> tools -> options -> privacy -> cookie -> show all cookies.
I do not see my cookie being written here. Even I wrote a jsp to read all cookie and print. Still I can not see above cookie. here is my code to read the cookie on another JSP page. it brings back all other cookies not the above one.
Cookie cookies[] = request.getCookies ();
                            Cookie myCookie = null;
                            if (cookies != null)
                                           %>
                               <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">
                                          <tr><td>Name</td><td>Value</td></tr>
                                        <%
                                            for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++)
                                                    %>
                                                         <tr>
                                                            <td><%=cookies.getName()%></td><td><%=cookies[i].getValue()%></td>
</tr>
<%
                    %>
</table>
                    <%
                         %>

After the lines you have imported the library for your jsp, use your code without printing any thing with out.println or without printing any html tag.
String iCart = "test";
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("iCart",iCart);
cookie.setDomain(".mydomain.com");
cookie.setPath("/");
response.addCookie (cookie);The following are text copied from this link:

Setting cookies from within a JSP page is similar to the way they are done within servlets. For example, the following scriptlet sets a cookie "mycookie" at the client:
<%
Cookie mycookie = new Cookie("aName","aValue");
response.addCookie(mycookie);
%>
Typically, cookies are set at the beginning of a JSP page, as they are sent out as part of the HTTP headers.
