Maheswara,

Thanks for your fast replay .

i add this to the web.xml:

  <listener>

    <listener-class>user.MySessionListener</listener-class>

</listener>

my problem is that by try to run my tomcat server it gives me this error

type Status report

message /jsfQa/faces/index.xhtml

description The requested resource (/jsfQa/faces/index.xhtml) is not available.

by remove the added listener tag from the web.xml the problem not appear

my sessionTimeOut code

package usr;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionEvent;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener;

public class MySessionListener implements HttpSessionListener {

     public  MySessionListener(HttpSessionEvent event) {

            System.out.println("session");

            }

    @Override

    public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent arg0) {

        System.out.println("session created");

    }

    @Override

    public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent arg0) {

        System.out.println("session ends");

    }

}

i force ( give maximux session time out value) session timeout using two option's

1.  using code :

public void logout(){

        FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

        HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) fc.getExternalContext().getRequest();

        request.getSession().setMaxInactiveInterval(10);

        this.sessionid=    request.getSession().getId();

    }

2. set it in my web.xml

<session-config>

      <session-timeout>2</session-timeout>

    </session-config>

both option create sesstion timeOut ( i confirm it by getting the session id ).

but i am unable to get any event for session time out.

Thanks for your help
