Hi,

first: Yes, when a session handle is closed, the underlying connection stays alive and is returned to the pool (I'm not a Jackrabbit developer, but all of my tests show exactly that + there hasn't been any contradiction on this mailing-list yet :)). Second: Good questions and I'm, too, struggling with the answers for my own application. However, what I can say is (again, not a developer, but tests and no contradictions), that you do not have to call session.logout if the bindSessionToTransaction-flag is set to true and all of your methods are executed within a container or bean managed transaction. So no memory leak there (of course, you have to call session.logout if there is no transaction around). And if all of your session bean methods do have a TransactionAttribute of "required" (which is the default), then bindSessionToTransaction = true is basically the same as calling session.login and session.logout in every method.
I don't know the best way to take yet, either.
Currently I also added the flag <application-managed-security/> to my jcr-ds.xml so that the sessions in the pool are distinguished by the repository.login-credentials (as far as I know, now user x never uses a session user y has used before). Furthermore I have the bindSessionToTransaction-flag set to true, so theoretically I shouln't have to worry much about handling and logging out the sessions. As you can see in another eMail on this list ("Jackrabbit, JCA, JBoss, EJB and transactions"), I have a problem with that configuration, though. You can find some more configurable flags for your jcr-ds.xml e.g. on [1] (at least those flags seem to work for the JBoss implementation of the JCA).

Best regards
Dominik

Hi,Thank you very much for your reply.
So when the session handle is closed, the underlying connection is NOT closed, 
because the actual session is returned to the pool, is that right? But what 
would be the correct way to manage JackRabbit session in a stateless session 
bean? For example,
If I set  bindSessionToTransaction-flag to false, then when should I call 
session.logout() in order to release resource?
If I set  bindSessionToTransaction-flag to true, and a session is closed when 
the transaction commit, does that mean I don't need to invoke the 
session.logout method? No memory leak?

Another approach is to call session login, and session logout in every method 
of the bean? but  I doubt this is a good design.
Thanks a lot for your help.Jason

Subject: Re: session.logout throws Exception : Inactive logical session handle 
called

Hi,

I think you must pay attention to the fact, that your are connecting to
Jackrabbit via the JCA package. This package realizes a JCA adapter, in
conjunction with this adapter the application server is able to keep a
pool of JCR sessions. This pool keeps the actual JCR sessions. What you
are dealing with in your session beans are not the actual JCR sessions,
but session handles, proxies so to speak, provided by the JCA package.
Due to the bindSessionToTransaction-flag these JCA session handles are
closed whenever a container managed or bean managed transaction commits.
However, the actual JCR sessions associated with these session handles
are not closed, but kept alive in a pool.
So your error probably occurs, because the JCA session handle is already
closed (due to a transaction commit) when you call the session.isLive()
oder session.logout() in  the @PreDestroy method.
At least this is how I understand it... :)

Hi,Can someone help me with the following problem.I have a stateless session bean which has the following

            session.logout();                       session=null;           }       }               public

        try {

                Node categoryNode = parentNode.addNode(jrCategory.getCategoryName(),

this because the session is already closed when JTA transaction commits? How should I fix this problem?thanks a lot.Jason
