Ensure a new session every time the user connects to a Servlet
- by Daziplqa
Hi,
I've a JSP/Servlet Web App that consist of more than one servlet (and some JSPs)
I need to create an new HttpSession whenever the users access servlet A, knowing that, servlet A is the home page (i.e. he access it as the first servlet/page in the application)
so far so good, I can write the following code at the start of the servlet A:
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
if (session == null) {
logger.debug("starting new session...");
session = request.getSession();
// other staff here
}
But the problem is, if the user didn't close his browser (even if he closes the tab - in firefox for instance - the session will still be open), so when he try to open my site again, the last session will be re-used (in the rage of session timeout ofcourse), and this I don't need. I need whenever he access Servlet A, he got created a brand new HttpSession.
but unfortunately, he may access this servlet twice per session based on some scenario!!
Please help.
