Thanks for all the replies.
I agree that ExternalContext need a clear() method. It's a shame someone
thought it was a good idea to make clear() throw an Exception in the Sun
RI/TCK tests...!
>public String logout()
{
HttpServletRequest request =
(HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext
().getRequest();
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
session.invalidate();
return "success";
}
I will try this. As I found that getExternalContext().getSession()
returns nothing useful that can be used without a classcast
exception...!
Cheers,
Kevin

No need to get the request. ExternalContext already has a getSession()
method.
Also, your code will break in a portlet environment. If you want to
make it work for both portlets and servlets, see
http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/UsingPortletUtil. This will let you know
if you can safely cast to HttpSession or if you need to cast to
PortletSession instead.
Truth be told, ExternalContext needs an invalidate() method.
