"sessionDestroyed" don't respond to the user closing the browser window

[Søren Blidorf <so...@nolas.dk>]

Hi.

 

I am trying to get the number of sessions that is active.

 

I have made a SessionListener and every thing works as I intended except
that the “sessionDestroyed” don’t respond to the user closing the browser
window.

 

I there a way to destroy/invalidate a session when the browser is closed
without using javascript:onunload

That's because closing the browse window does not terminate the session
on the server side.

No. And even if you use an 'onunload' method in your page's body, you
still won't get what you want: the unload event will fire when the page
changes, not just when the window is closed.
