Listener for Session Expiration in Spring

Question

I am new to spring security and using it for authentication. I am facing a issue that when the browser is closed or in case of any unusual failure the session expires but I am unable catch the event so as to get the clean up code executed. I explore about it and found HttpSessionEventPublisher in Spring to capture HttpSessionDestroyedEvent in sessionDestroyed() method but that is not called when I close the browser.

Request to suggest solution for the same.

Solution

Maybe SessionManagementFilter could help?

Or you can configure Spring Security to automatically redirect user if timeout occured: Detecting timeouts section.

SessionManagementFilter will help me trace and authenticate every request, but on closing browser no such request is send at server.

JavaScript must to be enabled.Today, there is no web application without javascript.

@HyperLink Can this also be done using just JQuery without Ajax as our system just uses straight Spring MVC with direct client communication? Thanks.
