Java Servlet :: Implement Session Timeout For Users
Dec 7, 2012
Coding a web application using Java 6. Try to implement the session timeout for users.
In the web.xml, I added:
<session-config>
<session-timeout>480</session-timeout> <!-- jsp will expire in 8 hours -->
</session-config>
Now, during the runtime, if a user does not touch the jsp page for 8 hours (after the user has signed in), the session timeout mechanism will kick in. At that point, the server side will automatically execute:
rd = req.getRequestDispatcher("/signin.jsp");
So that the user will have to re-sign in, before continue the work.
How can I achieve this goal?

I want to implement session timeout functionality ...so with web.xml file i can specify session timeout ..say 30 min.. Now with filter is it possible for me to redirect the request to login page after session is timeout say after 30 min... What are the other ways...??
Also i want to know whether timeout setting in web.xml will overweight the application server timeout ... I am using struts 1.0 and hibernate...

I have set the session timeout in web.xml to 60 but when I start on the home page and begin to enter any data I immediately get redirected to the timeout page.From the timeout page I can click a link that takes me to the home page. Now I get the 60 minutes before another timeout occurs. Changing the timeout only results in a change to the timeout after going back to the home page..why I am seeing an immediate timeout?

How we can renew the session Id of the logged in user in order to prevent any session fixation problems. Is there any API in servlets to do it?

How is session maintained in the application server, internally what happens when the user has logged in ? We create a session and store the user details which will be stored in the session object in the server with a unique sessionID which will be validated when the same user login the system again? But how exactly the session is maintained in the Server internally?

My application uses Struts and IBM Web application Server. I have a question regarding session management. I have a variable stored in session scope, i.e. the name of the client. it is a intranet application. Now whenever the user leaves the browser screen for a long time, the session times out and losses the name of the client.
How to restore the variable after the client comes back and starts using the browser and refreshes the screen and starts using the application. I want just the browser to remember the session variable i.e. "name" of the client.

I am new to JSF and I am working on handling session timeout for a JSF application. I am trying to get the code to work for ajax calls and not able to achieve that so far. I have tried two approaches:
Approach 1: SessionListener (for cleanup work) and SessionFilter (for filtering every request and checking if session timed out)
My Code snippet of doFilter() of SessionFilter:
if ((request instanceof HttpServletRequest)
&& (response instanceof HttpServletResponse)) {
HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest = (HttpServletRequest) request;
HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse = (HttpServletResponse) response;
// is session expire control required for this request? (not required for home page or timeout page or JSF resources)
if (isSessionControlRequired(httpServletRequest)) {
[Code] .....
Both these approaches work for non-ajax POST calls but not for ajax calls. When I run my app in debug mode, I can step through all the statements for ajax calls also, which gives me an idea that the control does come to my code, executes it but for some reason, nothing happens on the UI.
I have been trying to redirect user to a timeout page but the ideal thing would be to display a JSF dialog and upon hitting 'OK' take user to Home Screen (My app does not have a login screen.) I have a basic questions also, is view expiring exactly same as session timeout?

I am using following servlet code to store the logged in user information in the session.
session = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute("userName", userName );
session.setAttribute( "LoginId", loginId );
The information is getting stored in the session and i am able to retrieve the same for single user. The trouble starts when 2 user logged in from different browser (for example chrome, IE) from the same machine. The 2nd logged in user, overwrite the session information of first user.
How to prevent this.
My environment: Windows 7 64 bit, IBM websphere server, Oracle 11g, JSP, Sevrlet.

Generally sessions in web applications expire after a stipulated max inactive interval. To my knowledge primarily the reason is if the session objects are not invalidated they keep exhausting the memory. So my question is
A. Is there any other reason other why web applications timeout the user session after an inactive interval?
B. Social sites never timeout the user session even if you just leave them for the entire day. How do they manage sessions? Don't the active sessions exhaust memory on their servers or JVM to be specific?

I'm using this methodology for Java connection between client and server, the server allows the user to stay connected while it is sending messages, but if you stay an average time of 5 minutes without send anything it is disconnected, I need to increase that time to about 30 minutes or disable this disconnection for inactivity.
Settings:
Netbeans 8.0
Windows Seven 64 Bits Ultimante
The following code:
package redes;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;

May be I did not understand the meaning and usage of attribute "session" in page directive. My understanding is if session=false, in page directive, then the JSP page will not participate in the session. However, I have my welcomepage as below:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" session="true"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
........
.......
<%= session %>
<c:out value="${pageContext.request.session}"/>
if I choose session=true, then both ways of accessing session works , which means the JSP page participated in the session.
But if I change the session=false, then <%= session %> fails, but <c:out value="${pageContext.request.session}"/> does not fail.
how can c:out still show the session, when session = false

Can I access the session object even session has been expired? I need to check whether session is expired or not for each request.The session invalidation is set null the session object. What I concluded, session time out I can access session object but session invalidation I can not access session object. How can I find the session time out by using session object?

I have 2 war in 1 EAR.
War A corresponds to UI
War B corresponds to Rest
1) From War A, I login to the application and then fetch some users that is a rest call. I get the response back from rest in json form that ui consumes and display the data on page.
2) Now I click on the logout link from ui jsp. This logs out the session from Ui. I use <form data-dojo-type="dijit/form/Form" based logout.
3) I then go to the proxy (using burp) and manually request the rest call which I made in step no 1), the rest gives the response back with the same json object returned in step no 1) This shows that the logout action on step 2) is invalidated the session from War A (ui war) but the session or cookie based from WAR B (rest war) is not invalidated.
Expected outcome:After I Logout from War A(ui war), the session must also get invalidated from war B (rest war) and manually request from proxy should not get the same response object as received in step 1)

I am developing a e-commerce college project, here i add the items in the cart(a div tag in the jsp page) via servlet by creating sessions,
flow control: shopping jsp (when user wants to add an item in the cart) --> item servlet (which is used to create session and synchronized it) --> cart servlet(which is used to add items in the arraylist and show them in the shopping.jsp's div tag + it also sets the total purchase amount in the session variable "totalpurchase")
now after that user wants to proceed to checkout, here i use the onclick event to check the minimumshopping amount must be less than the totalpurchase (totalpurchase which i had setted in the session),but my jsp page is unable to rechognise the updated value of the totalpurchase, yes, if i reload the page, it rechognises the new updated value of the totalpurchase? but i want it to rechognise the updated total purchase value, without reloading he jsp page..

I'm trying to implement CSS in Java via a JEditorPane and an HTMLEditorKit. The CSS is included below. It *should* create a container with one on the left, small, and one on the right, large. It works flawlessly on JSFiddle [URL] ...., but on Java, it won't put the two divs next to each other. Is this a problem in Java/Netbeans or is it my problem? It creates the divs, but beneath each other. The JEditorPane is wide enough for all of them to fit.
Coding:
Java:
private void loadBulletins() {
//<editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="HTML/CSS Script">
String eBullStyles = "#divMsgs{ "
+ "height: 99px; "
+ "margin: auto; "
+ "background-color: #3399FF; "

My dynamic web project has a java class that captures a session variable with the following code.
HttpSession LoginSession = request.getSession();
String VAR = LoginSession.getAttribute("myVar").toString(); //This is the row 127
If i test the app in local (Mac + Java 1.8 + Tomcat 8) all works. In my remote cloud server (Ubuntu 14.10 + Java 1.8 + Tomcat 8) all works, except this class, that has this code. I copy the complete error here. Note that the row 127 of the error message is the second row of the previous code; and, if i comment this row with // and assign a fix variable all works. So, the problem is that 127^ row.
14-Dec-2014 08:15:23.923 SEVERE [http-nio-8080-exec-14] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke Servlet.service() for servlet [srvNavigation.SrvPT] in context with path [/myapp] threw exception
