Hi Roland,
the problem is that there doesn't seem to be a reliable way to notice when the user leaves the page or closes the browser.
the method postWindowClose() is not called in this case. this is a problem for me, because i have to rely on the tomcat
session timeout to close the ressources (database etc.). the postWindowClose() is only called when the User uses a logout or
exit action. it is possible to specify a exitconfirmation when the user leaves the page or closes the browser, but this is realised
with a simple javascript function that pops up a dialog with a string. if there is, or will be, any way to bind a method call, upon leaving the
browser, via javascript i'd really love to hear it :).
if the session is destroyed upon refreshing the page you could hook an listener on the session and use the method beforeDestroy() to cancel running
jobs...
greetings,
ben

Hmm,
I tried out the method postWindowClose() and it will be called when I
hit the refresh button.

hi,
could you please check if the method is also called when closing the browser (X) or leaving the url?

Hi,
yes, it will be called when you reload the page, close the browser,
close the tab and also when you type another url.

Hi,
i've tested this by launching the app from eclipse and launching deployed on a tomcat.
using firefox, it seems that the mechanism works fine now, the method is called when leaving
the url or closing the browser, almost always. With Internet Explorer it doesn't seem to work
very reliable but the method is also called many times.
this is a very pleasant change because this didn't work so reliably in the past which gave
me some problems.
very nice!!!
greetings

Just a note of clarification, there are reliable mechanisms to
observe *whenever* a session terminates (e.g. ISessionStoreListener,
postWindowClose). However, closing the browser window or tab does
*not* terminate the session. The session is terminated after the
session-timeout has elapsed without any request being sent to the
session.
In RAP, this behavior hasn't changed since ever.

Hi Rüdiger,
i use the postWindowClose() method to close the session immediately (set the timeout on 1 second programmatically), the
ISessionStoreListener always worked fine, that's right.

Ben,
sorry, my previous post was misleading. Of course the
SessionStoreListener is the only way to stay informed about the end
of a session.
Cheers,
Rüdiger
