Ending Your Session

[cohans]

Someone just told me that when you close your browser your JSP session (login in this case) is not ended, so that if you start up another browser and go to your site, the JSP engine still thinks your logged on. Is this true? If so, how do end that session before shutting down the browser? Thanks.

This is actually not specific to JSP, but you can programmatically end the session. Provide the user wth a "log out" option , then end the session like this:

sessionObjoect.invalidate();

That's ok if the user actually clicks the logout button. But for cases where the user clicks the browsers exit button on the window frame instead...?
