Why session is not null after session.invalidate() in JAVA?

Question

I am facing very strange problem while developing JavaEE WEB Application.

Even after invalidating the HttpSession using session.invalidate();

Answer 1

Try passing false as the parameter to the getSession(boolean) . This will give back a session if it exists or else it will return null.

HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
if(session==null || !request.isRequestedSessionIdValid() )
{
    //comes here when session is invalid.

}
