Thanks for the reply and I have re-posted the message to the correct forum.
However, I don't understand your reference to request.getRemoteUser(). I use
this at various points in my application to determine the current user but
how can it tell me the time that user logged in or logged out?
Or do you mean some method of querying the session object used?
Thanks
Martin O'Shea.

Subject: Programmatically detecting a login or logout using Apache Tomcat
Hello
I'm trying to find a way to detect a user logging into or logging out of
an
application I'm working on. I want to record these events so that I know
the
exact steps a user has taken through the application's JSPs and servlets.
I
want to do this without reference to the Apache Tomcat server logs as
well.
I have tried the following code in index.jsp (which is serving as each
user's home page):
<% if (request.getParameter("logoff") != null) {
session.invalidate();
response.sendRedirect("/myDataSharer/jsp/user/index.jsp");
return;
} %>
And I have tried using variations like:
<% if (request.getParameter("logon") == true) {
But without success.
does anyone know a way that the login and logout events can be recorded by
an event in a program, a session object and so on?
I'm using NetBeans 6.1 with Apache Tomcat 6.X.
Thanks
Martin O'Shea.
Martin, you in the wrong mailing list... this ones for the guru's that build
tomcat.
You looking for this
request.getRemoteUser();
Will give you the user name if user logged in and will become null when user
closes the browser...
You also need to setup basic authentication in web.xml
If you get stuck... ask more questions in the user group..

Programmatically detecting a login or logout using Apache Tomcat
Hello
I'm trying to find a way to detect a user logging into or logging out of an
application I'm working on. I want to record these events so that I know the
exact steps a user has taken through the application's JSPs and servlets. I
want to do this without reference to the Apache Tomcat server logs as well.
I have tried the following code in index.jsp (which is serving as each
user's home page):
<% if (request.getParameter("logoff") != null) {
session.invalidate();
response.sendRedirect("/myDataSharer/jsp/user/index.jsp");
return;
} %>
And I have tried using variations like:
<% if (request.getParameter("logon") == true) {
But without success.
does anyone know a way that the login and logout events can be recorded by
an event in a program, a session object and so on?
I'm using NetBeans 6.1 with Apache Tomcat 6.X.
Thanks
Martin O'Shea.
