Problems Implementing an HttpSessionListener

[sbutler]

So I'm working on a custom webservice and I'm having a problem with my Servlet always starting a new headless client session. I'm passing in ":jsessionid=..." in the url but the servlet is still unable to retrieve the session. (FYI, the request to the service is being done over a JSONP request with jQuery). So, I decided to implement an HttpSessionListener to keep a Map of the sessions so I could manually retrieve the HttpSession based on the jessionid, and then I can get the ISessionBean from the HttpSession. However, the HttpSessionListener doesn't seem to be working. I've created something like...

Code: Select all

package com.itechprofessionals.plugins.webservices;
public class SessionListener implements HttpSessionListener{
   
   Map itechsessions = new HashMap();
   ServletContext sc = null

   public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent hse) {
      ...
   }

   public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent hse) {
      ...
   }

}


And I added this to the web.xml in application_server/server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF

Code: Select all

   <listener>
      <listener-class>com.itechprofessionals.plugins.webservices.SessionListener</listener-class>
   </listener>


My servlet is created from the server plugin with something like IServerAccess.registerWebService("iTechWebService", new ServletService());
However My SessionListener doesn't seem to be listening to requests on the ServletService. Any ideas?

if you keep a reference to the HttpSession in your server plugin and reuse that, it does start a new headless instance? I had to call removeAttribute() to actually kill the headless client...
