Thanks for the suggestion . I am able to catch the window close event.
 
The actual situation is like this:
--> user logs on to the site and is woking.
--> He gets disconnected in between and leaves his terminal without logging out or closing the browser window.
--> The web connection is estalished again.
--> Another user comes and refreshes the screen.
 
The old session should be invalidated and the new user should be made to login again.

Hello,
 
With our application I use frames and the main frameset uses the event onUnload.
 
This event is called when the user does the following to close the browser (for Internet Explorer and Netscape):
 
ALT-F4 (on Windows), or
menu File | Close/Exit, or
double-click on the system menu, or
click on the "X" close button or
kill the browser with the task manager.
 
. . .
function closeTest() {
    if (self.isLogged) {
        window.open(URL, 'Logout', 'height=30,width=300,status=no,menubar=no,locationbar=no,location=no,title=no,resizable=no')
 }
. . .
self.isLogged = true;
<frameset cols="100,*" border="0" >
. . .
</frameset>
But if the browser or the system crashed, there is no way to catch this event ... :-)
 
Our goal was to catch the close event and then open a popup windows telling that the user has been disconnected. There is no way to prevent the window to be closed.

I am not sure if this question belongs here.
 
I have a web app (in struts). I need to expire the session if the user gets disconnected (and does not close the browser window). Any hints on how this is to be done ?
