SessionDestroyed works, but not sessionCreated!

Question

Any idea why my stdout.log in Tomcat would be recording print statements from sessionDestroyed but not sessionCreated?
public class OurSessionListener implements HttpSessionListener {
  public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent se) {
    HttpSession session = se.getSession();
    UserAcctBean user = (UserAcctBean) session.getAttribute("currentuser");
    String loginID = user.getLoginID();
    System.out.println("Added session: " + session.getId() + " for user " + user.getLoginID());
    SystemControl.addActiveUser(session.getId(), user.getLoginID() );
  public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se) {
    HttpSession session = se.getSession();
    SystemControl.removeActiveUser(session.getId());
    System.out.println("Removed session: " + session.getId());
}This has been frustrating me for a while. I thought it simply wasn't listening, but apparently it is since I do get statements beginning with "Removed session" in the log file!

Answer 1

serlank is right
sessionCreated method works when the session is being created , how do you have a user object in the session at that time
