Hi,
1. If the user closes the browser , his session in that server is expired.
2. No his session in the server is not expired
if he navigates to another page that has
no relationss with this web application
3. With respect to answer 2, you cannot expire the session by opening a new browser window without closing the existing window,since the server does not know this since it is the client side activity.

han,
Please change your name to be compliant with JavaRanch's naming policy. It should not be obviously fictitious.
Your displayed name should be 2 separate names with more than 1 letter each. We really would prefer that you use your REAL name.
You can change your name: here.
Thanks,
Cindy

1. Not exactly - his cookie that relates to the session is lost by the browser but the actual session object stored on the server is not invalidated until the servlet engine timeout is hit.
The subject of how to detect that a user has "left the site" has been discussed numerous times here - dig around in the archives.
