in this below script I implemeted HttpSessionListener and executed.

-------------
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;


public class TestCustAttrListener extends HttpServlet implements HttpSessionListener
{
String var = "rome";
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException
{
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
out.println("hello"+var);
out.close();
}

public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent e)
{
var = "italy";
System.out.println("test - session created");
}

public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent e)
{
System.out.println("test - session destroyed");
}
}
---------------
in DD I kept as

<listener>
<description>raja session listener</description>
<listener-class>TestCustAttrListener</listener-class>
</listener>

<servlet>
<servlet-name>TestCustAttrListener</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>TestCustAttrListener</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>TestCustAttrListener</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/cservlet/TestCustAttrListener</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
-----
(1) output on the explorer is "hello rome" but according to my expectations it should be "hello italy".
(2) on the tomcat debug window it printed "test - session created"
(3)when I killed the Internet explorer window then sessionDestroyed() has to get execute and tomcat window it has to print "test - session destroyed". but it is not printing like this.? why?

If you read the javadocs you will notice that getSession() doesn't create one if it doesn't exist. getSession(true) will. Therefore, your logic is incorrect and what you see truly is what you should be seeing.

Hi,

This is what javadocs says and Servlet Spec says this is equivalent to getSession(true),

public HttpSession getSession()

Returns the current session associated with this request, or if the request does not have a session, creates one.So I think author is write.

Yamini,

I tried with your code with little changes and it proves few things :

1) Container creates 2 different instances 1 act as listener and 1 act as servlet.

Run this and check your log (stdout.txt) things will become clear.

package com;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;


public class TestCustAttrListener extends HttpServlet implements HttpSessionListener{
String var = "rome";

public TestCustAttrListener(){
System.out.println("Bloody Instance"+var);
}


public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException
{
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
out.println("hello"+var);
out.close();
}

public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent e)
{
var = "italy";
System.out.println("test - session created"+var);
}

public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent e)
{
System.out.println("test - session destroyed");
}

}


===It you want italy make field static.
