Well, I must admit, I run Ubuntu myself and I have noticed on a few
occasions (after multiple netbeans builds) that the session doesn't get
destroyed in a timely manner sometimes. So it is possible that there is an
issue but it happens for me very rearly, I don't know whether this is an
issue that happens on deployed apps. You can do some "googling" to see if
anything comes up. Unless the user remaining logged in poses a
security/resource problem, then you probably shouldn't stress over it, idle
sessions do eventually get invalidated.

Hi Edmond,
Thanks for your feedback. I am implementing a session listener and a
session event
with custom sessionCreated() and sessionDestroyed(). Indeed, I thought
that the timeout
is all I needed, but the point is ... that it doesn't work properly for
me on linux. It does on windows.
Thanks
Oren
