How to log out user from web site using FORM authentication?

I am using FORM authentication, together with Realm. I would like to know how can I log out.

The only solution so far is to close browser, but that's not acceptable from the usability standpoint.

Most likely, invalidating the session (HttpSession's "invalidate()" command) will log out the user -- when you close the browser, you're doing the equivalent.

Most forms of authentication use a cookie on the browser to track the session, so you only need to delete that cookie. The Firefox plugin Web Developer can give you a list of cookies for the current domain.
