Really interesting post. What are you doing to end the session in CFMX? Just dropping the timeout? Is it possible there is just a delay between CFMX sessions ending and j2ee? Have you checked the logs recently?
I have this odd feeling that CFMX doesn't invalidate j2ee sessions properly. I hope some1 from MM can add a little more light to this post. You code looks air tight, so I don't think you are doing NEthing wrong, at least as far as the 1.3 API is concerned.

Long story short...I wrote up a couple classes that sort of implement that functionality using the HttpSessionListener ( sorta == cfmx session scope) and ServletContextListener (sorta == application scope in cfmx) of the javax.servlet package. You can read up here on the background: http://cephas.net/blog/archives/000237.html#000237 and get the Java code samples, results, and web.xml mods to make it work here: http://cephas.net/blog/archives/000238.html#000238 I'm interested specifically in: a) why the sessionDestroyed method doesn't return in CFMX (or at least doesn't appear too, did I do something wrong?) and b) in how to best implement this (ie: can I have I a separate listener for each application I create by placing a WEB-INF directory w/ the corresponding web.xml in each application's web root?) Other questions... 1) I haven't seen any good documentation on WEB-INF specifically related to CFMX. The other servlet containers (ie: Tomcat, JRUN... ) require a WEB-INF *per application*... I've not seen that recommended with CFMX. Can you do that? What are the ramifications of doing so? Anyone have any good documentation or notes on the use of WEB-INF in CFMX? 2) You'll see in my notes on the above links that using the listeners only return sessionID's of J2EE based sessions. Anyone know of a way to get the session information in CFMX (ie: not <cfif isDefined("session.myvar"), rather using a listener)? 3) it's obvious after using the ServletContext class that this *isn't* the same thing as the Application scope in CFMX, although they both fundementally provide the same functionality. *Are they the same thing under the hood?* If not, why not? Thanks all!
