Hassan,
How do I add an instance of the listener to each session? Can you please
provide an example?
I forgot to mention that I already have the following in the first JSP after
the login is validated:
<jsp:useBean id="listener" class="abcd.AbcdSessionListener" scope="session" />
<%
session.setAttribute("sessionListener", listener);
%>
What you say, "...and that object receives the event, it still knows its attributes."
What do you mean by "object"? Which object?
Thanks.

Rather than a global listener approach, why not just add an instance
of your listener *to each session*? When the session ends and that
object receives the event, it still knows its attributes; from your
example:
public void valueUnbound(HttpSessionBindingEvent se) {
AbcdUtil util = new AbcdUtil();
/* -- neither of these is necessary, as userId is still defined
* HttpSession session = se.getSession();
* String userId = (String)session.getValue("userId");
*/
I use this approach to return items to stock from an abandoned (via
session timeout) shopping cart, for instance.
FWIW!
