how to implement globally unique identifier (GUID) in tomcat

[seetharaman jayaraman]

Hi,
We maintain session ids with log in, but which is invalidated only when we close the browser instead of at log out time. So, if i re-login without closing the browser i get the same session id. how to fix this.

And also help in implementing GUID in tomcat.

Thanks & Regards

How do you "logout"? Do you call session.invalidate() on logout?

yes, session.invalidate() is called and then a logged out screen is displayed to the user
