Hassan,

Also, I don't understand the difference between a "global" and a "non-global" 
listener approach.  Can you explain?  Thanks.

Thanks.

Rather than a global listener approach, why not just add an instance
of your listener *to each session*? When the session ends and that
object receives the event, it still knows its attributes; from your
example:

 public void valueUnbound(HttpSessionBindingEvent se) {
    AbcdUtil util = new AbcdUtil();

    /* -- neither of these is necessary, as userId is still defined
     *   HttpSession session = se.getSession();
     *   String userId = (String)session.getValue("userId");
     */

I use this approach to return items to stock from an abandoned (via
session timeout) shopping cart, for instance.

FWIW!
