Micheal,
I think might might want to look at the HttpSessionBindingListener
interface.

> This is a fundamental problem facing all web applications. Due to the

> the user is still "using" the application.
>
> In the client/server world. the user session terminates/disconnects when
> they close the application.
>
> How do you implement this for web session? My application creates a new
> session when the users log on, connects them to their database and store
> their database connection handle to their session.
>
> The problem is that I do not know when to terminate their database
> connection. At present, my application terminates their connection when
> their session times out, when they click on the logout button (which
> usually
> never happens) or when the application gets shutdown.

> I would be interested hear how people handles this especially if STRUTS
