I am getting a left over session after a user logs out. The last thing done in the logout Action class is to call the invalidate method on the session. Then this request goes to the forward <forward name = "success" path = "/goodbye.jsp/> this jsp has the page session = "false" thingy but when all is said and done there is a session left over. Any thoughts on when this session is created? thanks Because the world is round it turns me on Because the wind is high it blows my mind Because the sky is blue it makes me cry
