HTTP is a connectionless protocol, effectively a stateless protocol. Although 1.1 added some fancy bits like "keepalive" I believe these are more for performance than connection / lifecycle support, although I expect others here may well know more about this than I do. If you close the browser, or it decides to trash itself, or windows decides to trash itself, the server is usually the last one to know. But rest assured, when it does, session listener will be the next one to know :-)

AFAIK session timeout is the only notification you can get here. There are undoubtedly some wacky things we can do with javascript - reduce the session timeout to a small value and include some javascript polling in every page or something along those lines, but at the end of the day it comes down to a timeout. The session listener will be called for any session created / destroyed as soon as the container is aware itself.

How do you handle the situation where the user closes the

browser without logging out (the windows "X" is not always our friend ;) ). I am not familiar with the SessionListener. Would it help in some way?

Exactly! Or use HttpSessionlistener and database solution

(that jim outlined) simultaneously..


(We are doing almost this except as a solution to a kind of

"opposite" problem - when a user logs off we need to do soem work so.. this seems to work nicely)

Maybe you could have a hashtable in the ServletContext that maps loginId to HttpSession -- then use a HttpSessionListener to listen for session creation -- when the session is created look for a value in the hashmap in the servlet context -- if it is there then invalidate the mapped session. Then add (put) the new mapping into the hashatable.
