hi,
when someone first enters your site he doesn't
have a session, you increment the counter, add a session to the request.
the trick is that only users that don't have a session make the counter
increment.
in your servlet you'd do sth like
this:
static int counter =0;
public void service(...) {
HttpSession sess
=null;
if ((sess =
req.getSession(false)) != null) {
// user has
already a session --> has already incremented the
counter
} else {
counter +=
1;
sess =
req.getSession(true); // add session to req
}
}
hope this helps.

Subject: Counting hit rates from servlet
more accurately!!
Hi Group
I have a servlet customized which does some kind of monitoring
page hits and storing it to a database(coolservlets.com).My issue is the
servlet increments the counter for a 'refresh' of the site as opposed to
increment for a new browser session as is the case with available free
counters (thecounter.com)
I've gone through an article in webmonkey about tracking but
doesn't seem to provide any details.
Since I am unable to think complex in java I'll be
happy
If someone could help me with sources for me to
analyze.
Thanks
TIA
Rizwan
