Bryan,

Thanks. I would ask one more thing. I am still green (less than 2 months) and I have not attempted (or had the need to) write my own engine. I do have the TIA book. Could you tell me what engine you are talking about and point me to an example (either in the book or elsewhere).
Thanks, I appreciate the help.


I still would like to know what would cause this.

Doug

I used to get that exception occasionally for reasons I never quite

timeout or server restart... Anyway, I ignored the exception, figuring that
if the invalidation was already done I didn't need to repeat it. I have
this utility method in my Engine:


public void endSession(IRequestCycle cycle)
{
try {
restart(cycle);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
// Ignore it if the session was already invalidated.
log.debug(ex.getMessage());
}
}


I've been running like that for months with no bad effects that I know of.
Hmmm... looking back through my logs, I see that I'm not getting the
exception any more. I must've cleaned up something else since then. Maybe
that will get you started anyway... you can see when the exception is
occurring.


I call that method from a simple form-listener method in my login/logout
component.

Subject: Logout question - Session Already Invalidated



I implemented the listener approach to logging out as
reccomended by the FAQ on the Tapestry Wiki. I used this
approach to give the user an option to continue or to
cancel out and to do some logging.


Occasionally I have received a ServletException "Session
Already Invalidated".  I found a blurb somewhere on the
net that mentioned do a restart like this:

public void logout(IRequestCycle cycle)
{
     IEngineServiceView engine =
   (IEngineServiceView)getEngine();
     engine.restart();
}

in a listener is bad because the page will still render
and could cause this exception. However the responder did
not give a clear alternative as to what to do.


So I again I must ask the Tapestry Gods ..... HELP

What is the best way to handle a logout CLEANLY that
terminates the session?

Please give an example if its not a simple one.

Thanks again to all,

Doug
