how to destroy a session?

[Sonny Sukumar <ah...@hotmail.com>]

Hi guys,

How does a session get destroyed exactly?  I set my sessions to timeout 
after 4 hours by configuring my web.xml file, but I thought that either 
closing the browser window or restarting Tomcat would do the trick.

The shopping cart object in my session is destroyed, but there's a String 
that somehow survives even when I both close the browser and restart Tomcat.

Btw, I'm running Tomcat 4.1.12 and Cocoon 2.0.4, in case it matters.

Thanks,

Sonny

hi sonny,

to invalidate a session use the session's metho invalidate (). just closing
the browser window won't do the trick (how should tomcat know?). AFAIR
tomcat can serialize/persist sessions, but that depends on the
configuration, I guess.

so just invalidate() your sessions and your problem should be gone.
