Not advanced Java; it's unclear whether the problem is Java-related at all. I'm going to move this to our JSP forum, just because it sounds like it might be an issue with understanding scoped data.

A redirect, means the first page tells the browser to make a new request to the target page. Request scope objects are no longer available after a redirect because it is a new request. If you need to pass data to the page you are redirecting to, you have to use a query string and pass them as request parameters (or save the data as session or application scope objects).

Firstly thanks for getting me a reply,
but Divya Guttikonda since i am redirecting i will not be able to close or logout from the main window(from the page where it is redirecting to my page) even i am unable to close the iexplorer window(main window as well as sub window from my home page which is part of the main window).

You will not get a meaningful answer unless you post a meaningful question. Please rephrase your question - it does not any make sense to me.

Below is my code which i am using For logout


<a href="javascript:window.close()" class="LikeButton">LOGOUT</a>


But this is not working can any one tell me suggest me a way out of this........

[Richard Green]

how about you create a logoff page that does this:-

<%
session.invalidate();
response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath()+"/index.jsp");
%>

hay
is there any code such that when logout is clicked that must directly invoke the "X" mark i.e close button which is in the top right corner of the Internet Explorer window.

Why would you want to do that? My understanding of your problem is that you want to logout a user(i.e. invalidate the session) and direct him to a home page. If that's the case, then Lynette Dawson has already mentioned the code that will do this for you.

Isn't this what you want?

since i am redirected to a new home page hence i do no have the login object hence there is no question of invalidating login user session i have created a new session in which all my processes are carryed, hence that is the only option with me to directly close the internet explorer window which automatically invalidates all my sessions.

You cannot close a window that you did not open, and closing windows will have no direct effects on the session.

if you created the session, then you should be able to clear it as well!
