RE: What happens when our session expires?
Hi Graig, Most Servers (Web J2EE) have a session timeout setting. If used in conjunction with form based (container managed) authorization, the container will invalidate the session for you and pass control automatically to your login screen once their session is invalidated.

RE: What happens when our session expires?
Hi session.invalidate() comes to mind... another way would be to persist the information so far entered (under some artificial key) and use a cookie to reget that key from the user's browser as soon as he comes back. With this you can let the session expire and still have the information ready... hope this helps Alexander -Original Message- From: Craig Tataryn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 8:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: What happens when our session expires?

RE: What happens when our session expires?
There you go! That sounds good. So I'm assuming (bare with me, I haven't done much with session time outs) that you code some type of event procedure which is kicked off when the session times out? You can then do cleanup stuff at this point? How do you get at your form bean? If memory serves (and it's been a while), your form beans are always passed to you as a parameter. Unless you can get at them some how through the session object? Thanks, Craig.

RE: What happens when our session expires?
That's right. Check out the javax.servlet.http.* API. You want to register
the moment the user becomes unbound from a session so you can write the form
values to the database (these would be stored as session attributes and
updated as the user moves from field to field in the forms or from form page
to form page. Any object that implements the HttpSessionBinding Listener
interface is notified when it is bound and unbound from a session. So, for
example, create a helper class or stick a helper method in your controller
servlet to do something like:
public void valueUnbound( HttpSessionindingEvent event) {
[plug session.getAttribute() returns into update parameters on your
Statement().update() method call through your Connection() String]
}
This works because whenever this interface is implemented, its valueBound()
and valueUnbound() methods are invoked whenever a session begins and
whenever it ends, respectively. This is how many persistent shopping cart
apps work (e.g., see the JavaOne shopping cart at java.sun.com - it persists
across sessions).
