Servlet listener that can log various info on session events. Supply
configuration via system properties, of the form
-DMySessionListener.<methodName>=<option,option,...>
where methodName is one of
attributeAdded
attributeReplaced
attributeRemoved
valueUnbound
valueBound
sessionCreated
sessionDestroyed
sessionDidActivate
sessionWillPassivate
and <option> is one of the following
STACK - show stack trace of current thread
SOURCE - show class originating this event
SESSION - show session info like sessionid, maxexpiry, etc
THREAD - show thread info
ALL_ATTRIBUTES - show all session attributes
ATTRIBUTE - show the changed/added/removed session attribute (if applicable)
VALUE - show the bound/unbound value (if applicable)
multiple options can be used, comma delimited. In example of configured provided via tomcat's setenv.sh:
JAVA_OPTS=" ${JAVA_OPTS} \
-DMySessionListener.sessionCreated=SESSION,THREAD,ALL_ATTRIBUTES,STACK \
-DMySessionListener.sessionDestroyed=SESSION,THREAD,ALL_ATTRIBUTES,STACK \
-DMySessionListener.attributeReplaced=SESSION,ATTRIBUTE \
-DMySessionListener.attributeAdded=SESSION,ATTRIBUTE \
-DMySessionListener.attributeRemoved=SESSION,ATTRIBUTE \
-DMySessionListener.valueBound=SESSION,VALUE \
-DMySessionListener.valueUnbound=SESSION,VALUE "
To install, copy the jar into <your_deployed_webapp>/WEB-INF/lib, and edit web.xml to add the listener as the last entry in the <listeners> block:
<listeners>
...
<listener>
<listener-class>com.oracle.support.MySessionListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<listeners>
Output is written to application server stdout, first which confirms the configuration in use:
Mon Jan 26 09:23:16 EST 2015 tid=12: Hello from MySessionListener
found configuration attributeReplaced with SESSION
found configuration attributeReplaced with ATTRIBUTE

found configuration attributeRemoved with SESSION
found configuration attributeRemoved with ATTRIBUTE
found configuration sessionDestroyed with SESSION
found configuration sessionDestroyed with THREAD
found configuration sessionDestroyed with ALL_ATTRIBUTES
found configuration sessionDestroyed with STACK
and then subsequent session event messages like:
