I want to kill the session on browser closes using java.
i.e, want to capture the event on the browser closes and then kill the session.

you can invalidate the session using session.invalidate() method.

Anmol,
Browsers don't tell servers that the user is closing her browser though. You would have to try some sort of JavaScript for that solution. If you can manage that, only then could you invalidate the session.

Submitting to the server on browser close only works in IE. Search the HTML forum for details. It's been discussed there serveral times.
