Time of last visit reset on JForum restart (HSQLDB?)

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is HSQLDB specific or not, but that's what I'm running for my database, so I thought I'd mention that first .

Anyways, every time I restart Tomcat the "last visited on" time for the user I'm testing with resets to the time at which I created the user. While everyting is up and running, I can log out and log back in again, and it shows a properly updated "last visited on" time, but as soon as I shut things down and start back up, it reverts.

I'm not 100% sure that this is a bug, because I'm setting the JForum servlet to run on Tomcat startup, so I figured I'd mention it here before reporting it on JIRA. The reason for having it run on startup is that I've created an auto-login JSP page that needs the backend to be started up before it will work properly. I don't see how this could be causing this problem, but you never know :?.

Regards,
Colin

So, the problem is with your restarts. For the sake of performance, I don't hit the database all the time to update the user's session data. I only do that when he logs off, or when the user comes back to the site, after leaving it (logging off or not).

So, when you restart the servlet container, you don't give a change to the values be updated.

The thing is, it happens even if I log the user out before I restart the container.

Hmm.. if you click in the link "Logout", I write the information to the database. Check the method "lougout()" in UserAction.java:

https://jforum.dev.java.net/source/browse/jforum/src/net/jforum/view/forum/UserAction.java?rev=1.39&view=markup

It's the call to "userSession.storeSessionData()"
