A reliable method is to embed an applet on the page, and inside of its
"stop" method send a signal back to the server that the page is closing
(browser is closing, or the user is moving on to another page). According to
the JDK 1.2 dox for java.applet.Applet,
"Called by the browser or applet viewer to inform this applet that it should
stop its execution. It is called when the Web page that contains this applet
has been replaced by another page, and also just before the applet is to be
destroyed. "
That's about the best that I can see that you can do, though.
