logout problem

[elevenpast]

I'm invalidating my session within a Struts action class. I think I need to also remove principals from the current subject.

subject.getPrincipals().clear();
request.getSession().invalidate();

How do I access the current Subject from within my action class? Am I missing any other steps?

try

Subject = (Subject) request.getAttribute("j_subject");

note:

you will probably have to be on a authentication checked page from the web.xml

hope it helps

Subject subject = (Subject) request.getAttribute("j_subject");

This didn't work. Subject object was still null.
