HttpSessionActionListener and DD

[Steven Colley]

I got a questiona that "HttpSessionActivationListerner" is "NOT" declared in DD like HttpSessionBindingListener (i.e jdiscuss mocks).

But HFSJ says that this class is session related class and MUST be declared in DD.

What is the correct?

Tks.

HttpSessionActivationListener and HttpSessionBindingListener are not configured in the DD.

You're right for HFSJ, but there's an errata:

Ah, ok "Gabb", that�s very important, tks.


"You do NOT configure session binding listeners in the DD! ... But this is NOT true for the other session related listeners on the previous page. HttpSessionListener, HttpSessionAttributeListener, and HttpSessionActivationListener must be registered in the DD, since they're related to the session itself, rather than an individual
attribute placed in the session."

Should read:

""You do NOT configure session binding listeners OR SESSION ACTIVATION LISTENERS in the DD! ... But this is NOT true for the other session related listeners on the previous page. HttpSessionListener and HttpSessionAttributeListener must be registered in the DD, since they're related to the session itself, rather than an individual attribute placed in the session."

Hi,

HttpSessionActivationListener and HttpSessionBindingListers are implemented by the attributes added to the session scope. And these listeners are activated when the attribute of these type is bounded/unbounded to session and session is migrated. The attribute class is notified.

Thanks
