Actually, it does. That's what session listeners depend on.

So, for example, I can have a ShoppingCart with a method like

public void valueUnbound(HttpSessionBindingEvent httpsessionbindingevent)
{
     empty(); /* remove reserved status from items */
}

If the session times out without the cart contents being purchased,
the cart returns any items it contains to inventory. Very handy :-)

FWIW,
