Session Timeout

Hi,

I want to perform several tasks automatically when a session timesout (like update the usertable for last session duration). How can I do this?

Thanks

yoy may want implement a javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener to handle session event.

example

package yourPackage;

public class YourSessionEventListener implements javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener {

   public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent se) {
      // do nothing for now.
   }

   public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se) {
      // Do you code here to update user session duration
      // .....
   }
}

and in the deployment descriptor, add the following defination before any <servlet> element

<listener>  
   <listener-class>yourPackage.YourSessionEventListener </listener-class>

</listener>
