Take a look at the HttpSessionListener interface in the J2EE API.

Hi ..Thanx for the reply.I cheked the HttpSessionListener Interface .the implementation class must be configured in the deployment descriptor for the web application. So do I have to put an entry for this class in the web xml like we do for servlets?

Yes. You need to put

<listener>
     <listener-class>MySessionListener</listener-class>
</listener>
