The HTTP Servlet spec takes care of that. You can even use listeners to notify you when objects are being removed. That way you can perform any cleanup you require. See: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/servletapi/index.html
Specifically the HttpSessionBindingListener's description.

Hi, Say I set some HttpSession attributes. If I set the timeout to 30 minutes, and the user leaves for lunch and never comes back for 3 days, does the session attributes get garbage collected? Or do I have to explicitly invalidate the session (ie when the user comes back say 3 days later and hits the web page again), in order for his session attributes to get "cleaned up"? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
