Howdy, By the time sessionDestroyed is call, the session has been invalidated. That doesn't mean you can't get information about it: only certain information ;) HttpSession#getAttribute is clearly documented to throw an IllegalStateException if called on an invalidated session.
If you're interested in attributes, implement an HttpSessionAttribute or Binding listener. In it, you will be notified when an attribute is removed and you will be able to access its value.
