Hi,
If you use the servletContext.setAttribute() to store the HttpSession object
in place of the session id with the user name then I think you can call the
invalidate() method on the HttpSession object to invalidate the previous
session.
hope this helps,
If anyone else has a better strategy to achieve this, please let us know.
