UISession not closed [message #1745617] Thu, 13 October 2016 11:52 Go to next message

Hey,

I noticed that sometimes the UISessions are not closed correctly.
This happens for example if the connection gets lost or if the browser process is killed forcefully (if you want to reproduce it).
Since the default timeout is infinite, doesn't that mean we are producing a memory leak here?
Since I'm not happy with just setting timeout to a low value, is there something like a heartbeat in RAP, to detect if the connection is really lost?

Thanks,
Marcel

Unless you have an active ServerPush session, there is no continuous connection.

If you do have one running all the time, depending on the behaviour* of container, you may be able to have a very, very short session timeout.

* that is, if it treats sessions with long running connections as alive

Chris, if I understood you right to Marcel have to create Server Push session and checking UISessions for alive or not. if it's not to destroy session. Is it so?

Thanks, that already helped alot.

Now I have:

RWT.getUISession().addUISessionListener(e -> {
	System.out.println(e);
});

RWT.getUISession().getHttpSession().setMaxInactiveInterval(30);

ServerPushSession pushSession = new ServerPushSession();
pushSession.start();
RWT.getUISession().setAttribute("_server_push", pushSession);


Thats already works fine and it detects, if the user disconnects.
The Problem now is that if I lower the value to 5 secs, it still needs up to around 30s to detect the disconnect.

Do you have any ideas why this is the case?

The servlet container will only be checking the sessions periodically.
Tomcat uses a dedicated thread for this, other containers might have timers. Nothing is going to react immediately.

If you absolutely must go down this path, you'll probably have to write your own session expiration code.

Why do you need to disconnects to be detected so quickly?

It is a known issue, even if the UISession is kind of closed the JVM does not run the garbage collector and your UI objects are not destroyed. Do a memory analyser of your JVM after closing abruplty a session you will see it is not void.

Me I register a listener of the closing session and close MPart and destroy manually all objects :
