thanks for the reply. now theres another problem.
if a user is logging in for the first time, i am storing his name and
session id in the servletContext using setAttribute(). so if the same user
tries to log in from some other client, it will check if its name is
present in the servletcontext using getAttribute(). this way double logon
can be prevented. but lets say the user closes the browser window directly,
the servletcontext still has its name and session id stored and now that
user wont be able to login again even though he has closed his window. for
this if it is possible that when the user tries to login from some other
client instead of denying access to him for the second time, i invalidate
the first session login in the previous window and create a fresh session
for him, it will solve the problem. this was possible earlier when
getSession method in servletcontext was not deprecated because then we
could get the previous session from the new one. but now it is not possible
to invalidate some other session from outside. is there any work around for
this.
hoping to recieve some solution
regards
susan
