This is a problem of the http whiteboard wrt to session handling. For each context managed by the whiteboard you get a separate session. These sessions are managed in the real http session.
Now I assume you invalidate one of the per context managed sessions. This does not invalidate the real http session as the http whiteboard implementation does not know whether anything else still wants to use it. Imagine you have another application running which happens to use the same http session - and that app is not managed by the whiteboard. The basic idea is that the real session times out eventually. I'm not sure what a good way of invalidating the http session in this case is :( Regards Carsten Rob Walker wrote > So one more from me today – I’m a little perplexed on session invalidation. > > > > In common with general security best practice on HTTP, we invalidate the > session ID obtained during initial logon and create a new one for the > auth’d and logged on user.
