hi friends,

Consider i have a user with User Id : - [email protected] .Now i am loggin with this id in firefox. At the same time i am open other browser IE and login again with the same id.

I need when the try to login with the same id in diffrent browser the session of first browser will removed automatically. So in this case user can remain logged in with IE. not FireFox.


Please help me ..

You need to maintain a mapping of Sessions to User's.

When a new session is being created for a user, if that user already has a session, invalidate the first session.

Hi,

Hey,

Do you use any kind of Security framework? I know you can set Spring Security to do this in its configuration.
If not then as Chinna said, create a map of users to session IDs. If a user logs in and is already in the map, then invalidate the previous session and add their new one, otherwise add them to the map.

You may want to use HttpSessionListener for this functionality.
