Each time = a session is destroyed, either explicitly by the user or implicitly by = Tomcat (user just closed browser) then your widget should have its = valueUnbound method called and you could update your DB. I haven't worked with the SessionListener before but that sounds more = tailor made for the purpose you intend than my solution above. Jamey -----Original Message----- From: Mark W.

All you need is the following in your context's web.xml file :

my.own.SessionListener

there should be an example in the examples context.

If the user specifically clicks the "log out" button, I = can update my table with another timestamp, but I assume many will = simply timeout.
