The answer is in your own post, but as you don't share the code for onSessinEnd() and don't tells us what error you are getting then it makes it hard to help.
On the surface, what is the problem. Is it that when you put the component in a directory it doesn't work or what? But if this is the case then it sounds like a path issue.
