Hans, Can you use a session life cycle event listerner with JSP 1.1? I don't think you can, but I just wanted to check. We are not going to be able to upgrade to JRUN Server 3.1 until after we deploy, and JRUN 3.01 is based on the JSP 1.1 standard, if my memory is correct.

It gets called when a new session starts (and ends), so you can initialize the session with all the data you need. <http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/10/10/jsp.html> Hans -- Hans Bergsten [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gefion Software http://www.gefionsoftware.com Author of JavaServer Pages (O'Reilly), http://TheJSPBook.com =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
