SessionListener with GWT

[mukund]

We are using GWT Designer to build our Web application.

I would like to implement Session Listener to log the logins and logouts. Would like to do some housekeeping upon logout.

How do I register the class implementing SessionListener in GWT. How do I modify the WEB.xml so that it works both in Hosted mode and as well as when I deploy the war file.

Can you provide some instructions/help.

Thanks,
GWT Fan

No idea. That would be a good question for Google's GWT forum.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm able to get the Session Listener class fire from the server side code. I need to edit the web.xml to include my SessionListener.

I had to hand edit the web.xml in WEBINF folder to include :

Code: Select all

   
    <listener>
                <listener-class>com.ses.tims.server.LoginServiceImpl</listener-class>
    </listener>


My question now is, when I use GWTDesigner to deploy my war file, how can I setup the entry in xxx.gwt.xml (or anywhere else) so that the above web.xml entry get created automatically.

We would like to the war file to be deployed in multiple environment and would like to avoid hand editing web.xml in every deployment.

You could create a web project and completely control the web.xml file yourself.

Alternatively, you could modify the generated build.xml file to add additional info to the web.xml file when it is created.
