You might be able to use JavaScript to send some request back to the server upon closing the browser window. I don't know for sure.

I do know that this is not a Java in General (beginners) type question.

If you're looking for a better understanding of how sessions are handled in Java-based web applications, I recommend moseying on over to the Servlets forum.

I'm moving this thread to the HTML and JavaScript forum...

Raj,
You can't do this in Netscape at all. There is no way to detect the browser close. The best you can do is let the session timeout.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
