How to invalidate session in JSP?

I am new to web development.
I have tried to invalidate a session with session.invalidate() but this does not seem to have invalidated the session. Any Help Please??

please elaborate on your problem,
session.invalidate(false) should work..false means, if there is a session, invalidate, if not..DONT create one...

  • How to clear session in JSP?

    I searched yahoo, and found that it seemed not easy to force invalid the session using jsp, compared to php just three lines:
    session_start();
    session_unset();
    session_destroy();
    How to acheive this using JSP? Must I follow these (quite complex) steps like this one?

    Thx.

    Not at all, it's very simple.

    session.removeAttribute("attributeName");

    This HttpSession API document shows all methods that can be called on the session object : http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpSession.html

  • How to create session in JSP & Servlet

    Hi All
    I'm really new to JSP & Servlet. So I want to know how to create sessions and how to pass details to another web page
    Thanks

    You can easily pass objects from one jsp or servlet to another.
    On your servlet execute method (for example), you can do this as follows:
    HttpSession session = request.getSession();
    User u = new User();
    session.setAttribute("user", u);And get it again on other servlets:
    HttpSession session = request.getSession();
    User user = (User) session.getAttribute("user");I hope this helps you.

  • How to invalidate session ids

    dear all ,
    Any knows how to invalidate the session ids .
    Ex . Server maintains maintains many client session ids
    I want invalidate those client session ids ,,,'

    There are several cases when a session is invalidated:
    1. when the time specified in web.xml elapsed (session-timeout tag) - this is specified for the entire server
    2. when using session.setMaxInactiveInterval. specs:
    "Specifies the time, in seconds, between client requests before the servlet container will invalidate this session."
    3. when you call session.invalidate() specs: " Invalidates this session then unbinds any objects bound to it." With this, the session is immediately invalidated.

    i also need to display a prompt to the user informing of the time expiry and need a response from himHTTP disallows push, so forget about it. Best what you can do is to use Javascript's setTimeout() function in combination with HttpSession#getMaxInactiveInterval(). This way you can use Javascript to show some message in the page when the session is timed out.I'm afraid that wass what was explained under the URL(Earlier Post) which was what metioned in my earlier reply.
    Why are repeating the same solution out here ??

    In the java code:

    session.setAttribute("comboValue", comboValue);

  • How to invalidate session when i browse another url with out closing browse

    Hi,
    How can i find when i type another url and browse to that site without closing the browser.when i left the site i have to invalidate the session.
    how can i recognise this event.
    thanks

    You might be able to do this by catching a javascript event, then you'd need to submit a request back to the server before any session invalidation could occur. Basically, the server never know when the user is gone - that's why there's a timeout in sessions. The only other way is to have a logout button that the user clicks on to send the request to invalidate the session.

  • Invalidate session in another context

    Hi everyone,
    In a nutshell, how to invalidate session of another context residing in another server?
    If it is not possible, what is the best approach to achieve something similar to that?
    Thanks for reading this.
    Z

    u can as well use the MBean interface implementations for Tomcat (JBoss)
    and call some public method of a MBean under name "jboss.web:type=Manager,path=/,host=localhost,*" - like 'expireSession' passing the sessionId string as param

  • How to invalidate a session based on the session id

    How to invalidate a session based on the session id

    You have to write your own support for this.
    It used to be in the API, but was deprecated as a security hole.
    The best way to do it is implement a session listener (javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener) which notifies you when sessions are created/destroyed.
    You can then keep a map of sessions in your own code, indexed by session Id, and access any/all of them to invalidate as you choose.

    hi rachna,
    JSP has a default(implicit) session object...... use the getSession(true) method on the session object and then going u can either get or set attributes depending on the requirement
    That was in general and now with the issue u have got..... what u can do is that the u can create session for every user who logs in and when he/she tries to login again then u can probably check for the existing session object in the JSP and perform the logic as required..... any clarifications plzzzzzzz let me know
    Thanks n Regards

  • How to Handle user Session in JSP

    Help me,
    How to handle user session in JSP.......

    tell me some Debugging tech. so i can overcome from my problem.....Do you use an IDE? Any IDE ships with a decent debugger where in you can just execute the code step by step, explore the current variable values and check what exactly is happening. For example Eclipse or IntelliJ. If you don´t use an IDE, then just place some System.out.println() or Logger.debug() statements at strategic locations printing the variables of relevance so that you can track in logs what exactly is happening.
    or tell any other way to find is my page is thread safe or not...Just write correct code and narrow the scope of the variables as much as possible. If you for example assigned the user object to a static variable or as a servlet´s instance variable, then exactly the same user object would be used everywhere in the application. That kind of logical things.

  • How can i invalidate Session when a browser crashes?

    Hi
    How can i invalidate session when a browser window closed or crashed unexpectedly.
    If user closed the browser window using File->Close, then i'm calling javascript function .... and it is working fine. But when browser window is hanged and closed using ENDTASK, how can i kill that session.
    Please help
    Thanks
    -Vidyadhar

    Well you can't. Execution halts, so anything you would want to do is made impossible: that's why crashes are the #1 enemy of any software developer (that and impossible deadlines). The webserver will remove the session manually when it times out though.

    in the jsp, set the scope to request. it might help. u might also want to re-direct it to a new jsp which is a copy of the existing processLauch.jsp to avoid fiddling around with the old one. :)

  • How to invalidate the IPortalComponent Session

    Hi,
    I have written one portal component for customizing the session expiry. In this component, based on certain idle time we want to redirect to another customize page saying that session is timed out. Redirection is happening but session is still alive. I want to invalidate the session.
    Can somebody tell me that <b>how can I invalidte the IPortalComponent session</b>. I know how to invalidate the http session but that does not solve my problem.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks in advance.
    Manish

    Hi,
    By looking at the code of the IPortalComponentSession one can see that it basically stores all values in the httpsession with a certain prefix. Therefore, shouldn't it be sufficient to invalidate the httpsession ? (if this is not the case could you describe the problem closer)
    Note that if there is not component session, the IPortalComponent request creates one the first time it is accessed.
        public IPortalComponentSession getComponentSession()
            if(mm_componentSession == null)
                mm_componentSession = new PortalComponentSession(this);
            return mm_componentSession;
