    HttpSessionListener - sounds familiar?

    mack81

      Hi there folks.I was wondering if any of you used a HttpSessionListener.I'm doing this do automatically set a session attribute (which is a reference to a session bean),each time a new session is initialized. Here is the code:
      package listeners;
      import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener;
      import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionEvent;
      import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
      import javax.naming.InitialContext;
      import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;
      import DBase;
      import DBaseHome;

      class SessionListener implements HttpSessionListener{
      private HttpSession session=null;
      private static int nr=0;
      public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent se){
      session=se.getSession();
      DBaseHome objshome=null;
      DBase bean=null;
      nr++;
      System.out.println("The Session listener is in action...Call number "+nr);
      try{
      InitialContext ic=new InitialContext();
      Object ref=ic.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/DBase");
      objshome=(DBaseHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref,DBaseHome.class);
      bean=objshome.create();
      }catch (Exception e){
      System.out.println("Failed to lookup java:comp/env/ejb/DBase or create the bean");
      }
      System.out.println("Setting session attribute bean DBase...Call number "+nr);
      session.setAttribute("dbase",bean);
      }

      public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se){
      session=se.getSession();
      DBase bean=null;
      bean=(DBase)session.getAttribute("dbase");
      try{
      bean.remove();
      session.removeAttribute("dbase");
      }catch (Exception e){
      System.out.println("Failed to remove the bean or remove it as attribute.Call number "+nr);
      }
      nr--;

      }

      }

      The class compiles just fine.
      In web.xml I added the line:

      <listener-class>listeners.SessionListener</listener-class>


      But unfortunately jboss says:
      [13:06:09,103,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] StandardContext[/hosp]: Error configuring application listener of class listeners.SessionListener
      java.lang.IllegalAccessException: listeners.SessionListener
      at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Native Method)


      Can anyone give me a hint about what is going on here?I am kind of confused...
