Yup, because the server has no idea the browser was closed. Your browser does not send a message to all the websites you have visited and say "I am closing now, please run any code you like now because I am closing...."
What happens with using J2EE or other methods that create "memory" cookies that are not saved and thus forgotten when the browser closes is that the user can no longer connect to any previous sessions, so the session is abandoned when the browser closes. The session will timeout when it is schedule to and any code set to this even will run. You can try to use JavaScript and onBlur or other end type events in the code running in the browser. I am not a fan of these as they are problematic, easy to circumvent and not very cross browser complaint. But if your requirements are narrow enough they may work for you.
