[Webware-discuss] How do I modify session timeout activities

From: David London <David.London@se...> - 2007-06-12 20:49

Hello all,
I have a problem that I'm hoping someone can shed some light on.
I need to do some extra work when a session times out and I'm hoping that =
there is a simple way to hook into the session time out cycle.
I'm storing a unique identifier in the session that I need to release some =
other resources, and since that information will disappear when the =
session becomes invalid, I think that I need to put in some custom code =
just before the session becomes invalid.
Is there a "simple" way of doing this? Has anyone done something similar =
to this before and have any hints they can send my way.

Thanks,
David London

You can specfify your own customized Session and/or SessionStore classes 
in the Application.config since Webware 0.9.3. You can use a subclass of 
Session where you overwrite the expiring() or sleep() methods.
