Hi, I think your problem will not be solved even if it is possible to catch the close event of the browser. It is always possible that the connection between your app and the user is broken and the user can not call the logout method.
Try using a javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener instance and implement your "clean-up" code in the sessionDestroyed method and register the class through your web.xml file.
