HttpSessionListener

[Antonio Giovanni]

Hi all,...

I am copying and pasting from a previously discussed thread:



It may depend upon which servlet container and version you are using. Under the Servlet 2.3 specification, the definition of the sessionDestroyed method was:

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification that a session was invalidated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

under Servlet 2.4:


quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification that a session is about to be invalidated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it is perfectly plausible that a 2.3 engine would blow away the session prior to calling sessionDestroyed, while a 2.4 engine will not.

My question:

I am presently using Websphere App server 5.0 with Servlet 2.3 specs, BUT it actually behaves like Servlet 2.4 specs,.. i have access to session data in sessionDestroyed method - its like - Notification that a session is about to be invalidated.

So, now my question is did websphere handle Servlet 2.3 specs in a different way ?? OR it is like some kind of a TYPO in Servlet 2.3 API documentation which they corrected in Servlet 2.4 API documentation.

Thanks

Not a typo. And since this is Websphere-specific, I've moved this off to the Websphere forum.
