Re: How do I determine sessions within Tomcat?
you would probably want to write a SessionListener, and plug it into tomcat. Turansky, Mark wrote: I am required to track users and their sessions in my web application.

RE: How do I determine sessions within Tomcat?
ok, I see th session listener interface in the javadocs as well as the session event class. any advice regarding *how* I plug it into tomcat? Is your method a standard J2EE solution or will this be Tomcat specific? thanks for the quick reply, mark -Original Message- From: Mark W.

Re: How do I determine sessions within Tomcat?
All you need is the following in your context's web.xml file : listener listener-classmy.own.SessionListener/listener-class /listener there should be an example in the examples context.

RE: How do I determine sessions within Tomcat?
Mark, Another option is to write a callback class that is registered with each session using the HttpSessionBindingListener interface. Each time a session is destroyed, either explicitly by the user or implicitly by Tomcat (user just closed browser) then your widget should have its valueUnbound method called and you could update your DB. I haven't worked with the SessionListener before but that sounds more tailor made for the purpose you intend than my solution above. Jamey -Original Message- From: Mark W.
