RE: window close session invalidate
There is an option in the IE config about reusing windows. This option controls if each window has it's own cookies separate from other open windows. This is sometimes useful to a developer, they can be running multiple sessions, with potentially different logins at the same time. -Original Message- From: Paul Wallace [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 7:26 PM To: Tomcat Developers List Subject: RE: window close session invalidate -Original Message- From: Paul Wallace Sent: Thursday, 7 August 2003 9:20 AM To: Tomcat Developers List Subject: RE: window close session invalidate OK, Thanks for that.

RE: window close session invalidate
Hi, That might be the case, but the window I am closing is a popup window that derives from the original. The original window remains unscathed. Paul. That is according to the spec, The session only lives for the time of the application,closing your browser window, means that you are ending your application Filip -Original Message- From: Paul Wallace [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2003 9:01 PM To: Tomcat Developers List Subject: window close session invalidate Dear all, May someone enlighten me on why my session is being invalidated when I close a browser window?

Re: window close session invalidate
This is a user question and should be posted on the tomcat-user list. On a side note, the session is maintained either by a session cookie or by a session id at the end of each request. The server will keep your session going for the time specified in the web.xml. If the client forgets all about the session id by closing the browser down, then the session is dead (even if it is still on the server until it expires). Hard to say why your popup doesn't work. One idea could be to make sure the session is going already in the root window.
