You can't disable the ability to close a browser window from servlet code. You would need to do this via client-side JavaScript.

A couple of reasons why this is not a good thing to try to do:

it annoys users if you stop the normal operation of their browser

there is no 100% full proof way of doing it anyway

Why are you trying to prevent the browser window being closed? There may be another way to achieve what you want your application to do without having to mess with the browser behaviour.

it can not disable the close window of browser. but while the session invalidate ,this Listener(one of the method sessionDestroyed() of HttpSessionListener) gets call...there you can do your business logic.

if user directly close your window... assign default <session-invalidate>..so when session get invalidate...the HttpSessionListener gets call .

Hope This Helps
