I hope there is no way to get the session id once the session is expired.

HI,

  We can't get the session Id after the session has been destroyed.But there is a mechanism using which one method will be called before the session is going to be destroyed so that we can get the session Id.

We have to use the Listeners to do the same.

eg:
HttpSessionListener-- this  class contains two methods called sessionCreated() which will call after the session is created and the second one is sessionDestroyed() which will call before the session going to be destroyed.

signature of this method and sample code are:

void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se){
   HttpSession session=se.getSession();
   String id=session.getId(); // It will give u the session Id
}

we have to register this class as a listener to the application(like mentioned in the web.xml)

regards,
Radhakrishna Billa
