No.Its a callback method and part of the servlet lifecycle.When you bring down the server , the container will call the destroy method.Nothing to do with browser closing.

During server crash , the destroy method will not be called.

No , Container creates the session , but you have to initiate the process by calling request.getSession().

Hi Rahul thnks for the Reply but i have some doubts still
1)What do you mean by callback methods ?
2)As you said we have to intiate session by request.session() is there any Difference between HttpSession session = request.HttpSession();

CAllback methods are to be called by the container , not to be called by the user code.

request.HttpSession() ; there is nothing like this.
You can check the javadoc of servler api for more and detail information.

Hi Akilesh,

1)What do you mean by callback methods ?

The call back methods are methods which are called by the containers or underlying program which knows the best way of dealing with it.

Mainly the lifecycle methods are called as callback methods.

2)As you said we have to intiate session by request.session() is there any Difference between HttpSession session = request.HttpSession();

I think there is only one method called request.getSession() and not HttpSession. Just check the API.
