Kesav:

 

I believe that when you call request.getSession(false), it will not create a new session if a valid one does not already exist.  If you want to create a new one, right after invalidation of a previous session, call request.getSession() or request.getSession(true).  Obviously, you will need to reset your attribute after the new session is created.

When we call invalidate() method on the session what happens?

I was doing the following and I am getting a strange error.  This is just a testcondition I am giving to reproduce my error.  The reality is much complex.

        session.setAttribute("kesav", "I am nice");
        session.invalidate();
        HttpSession sess = request.getSession(false);
        if(sess == null)
                System.out.println("Session is null");
        Object obj = sess.getAttribute("kesav");

After the invalidate I was thinking that I won't get session object thats the reason I had a condition for null.  What happening is I am getting a session object and when I try to access any attribute I am getting

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Session was invalidated

Any ideas why is it happening?
