Is changing the “session-timeout” param in web.xml the only way to end a user’s session without clicking on the Logout button?
Is there any other way to log a person out when he closes the browser?
Thanks for your help.

To log a person out when the browser is closed would require a Javascript function to make an ajax request.
This really is not possible, because if you execute a javascript function for
onunloadoronbeforeunloadthen the script will execute every time you navigate away from the page as well.Bottom line is that even if you could figure out a way to do this, it is not a good idea.
