Session start & container managed bean

[jamesdavit]

Hello,

I was wondering how I can receive session start events in a container manager bean. I know I can create a class that implements

javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener

and add that class to my web.xml:

<listener><listener-class>pb.session.Init</listener-class></listener>

But is there a "Spring" way to do this? Then I can use container features on my Init class as well.

Many thanks,
James

I'll be more specific:

HttpSessionListener provides these methods:

public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent httpSessionEvent) {
init(httpSessionEvent);
}
public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent pHttpSessionEvent) {
}

Does the "Spring" variant provide that as well?

In the end what I'm trying to do is get the IP address of the request that initiated the session. I know that httpSessionEvent doesn't provide that - anyone have a solution for that?

Many thanks,
James

Not sure, but maybe org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestCon textListener might be of any avail?
