Hello Peter! PCE> I have a question/problem related to the session object, which I hope I can PCE> get some help with.
PCE> The problem is as follows. A user accesses the application for the first time. The initial JSP PCE> page uses a bean to create the top object in the application hierarchy. The top object calls PCE> the getSession in the httpServletRequest class. PCE> A number of objects are created, most of which have a reference to the top object. PCE> When the user exits the application, a welcome back page is shown for a few seconds and then PCE> the browser window is closed. At this time, the top object sets a shutdown timer, to allow messages PCE> from the backend (intended for the customer) to drain out. Some 15 seconds later the session object PCE> is invalidated. PCE> The problem I have is when the customer starts up a new window and re-access the initial JSP page PCE> again, before the shutdown timer has expired. In this case I would like the customer to start fresh all PCE> over again. 'Some 15 seconds later the session object is invalidated'. How do you do that? Do not return from the service method in the servlet for 15 seconds and then call session.invalidate()? Anyway, whatever you're doing I beleive that the servlet/jsp that outputs the last window (that is auto-closed) could well do session.invalidate() somewhere in the course of its operation and this will have the effect of the user never interacting with that session ever again. -- Best regards, Anton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
