By login or logout, I mean the actual physical login and logout actions by
the user concerned which I expect translate to request.getRemoteUser()==null
for logout and request.getRemoteUser()!=null for login. But I'm not familiar
with session listeners so I will be looking at them later.
Do you have any sample code at all?
