I once read a solution in this mailinglist to invalidate
sessions once a user closed his browser.
You had to add a very small applet in every page.
When the user closes his browser, the applet calls its
stop-method. In this method you could call a servlet
that invalidates the user.
However, I never tested this approach and I don't find
the article in the (very, very, very slow) archives of
the mailing list.
