Yes and no. Since the browser sends no closing informaiton to the server, there isn't much you can do... however using HttpSessionListener, you can know when the session is destroyed, in the case of the user wandering away, this would be a session timeout... you can use the event to get some information from the session, but not necessarily the exact cause of the session destruction.
