How to determine the reason of a destroyed session

[joel vennin]

Hello I would like to know how i can determine why a session i've been destroyed. I'm using glacier2, when i've a proxy on a session i can call the destroy method from the client side to kill the session. However, when a timeout appears, the session is also called, and the destroy method of the session seems to be automatically called.

On the server side, i would like to determine what is the reason that kills a session.

Thank you.

With the current setup there is no way to know this. Why do you want to know that information?

Just to keep an history of session life cycle ...

Thank you

There is no direct way to do that. The simplest way I can think to do it is add a new method on your derived session that your application calls instead of destroy(). For example:

interface MySession extends Glacier2::Session
{
void logout();
};

Then your application calls logout, which in sets a flag and calls destroy. In this way you know if destroy is called directly it was destroyed by a session timeout, otherwise it was destroyed by your application.
