Re: Session timeouts

[Ralph Goers]

That is a funny way to put it. Cocoon doesn't provide anything regarding 
session listeners nor does it prevent you from doing so. In fact, it 
is  extremely easy.  I created a single "SessionData" class that is nothing 
more than a container for all my other session-based objects. This class 
registers itself as an HttpSessionListener.  When a timeout occurs it calls 
methods in the objects registered with it so that they can clean 
up.  Cocoon doesn't require any cleaning up so it isn't a problem.

You said below, "I would have expected coccon to make use of the 
sessionDestroyed method on this object". What object are you referring 
to?  AFAIK, all Cocoon requires is that it's Session-based objects be 
deleted at Session termination - which the container takes care of 
automatically.

The interface HttpSessionListener is available for objects to
receive notification of session binding and unbinding.
I would have expected coccon to make use of the sessionDestroyed
method on this object to be able to pass control at session
termination, but I cannot find any reference in the source code to
HttpSessionListener so I conclude that it does not allow this.
