Terminating a session and get a new id

General
1

Hello Forum,

at the moment I try to manage “user sessions” within a vaadin applicaton: User logs in, works, and then logs out.

After log out I clean the session and forward to the same page (sign on screen will be loaded as first content):

UI.getCurrent().getSession().close();
UI.getCurrent().getPage().setLocation(currentAppPage + "?restartApplication");

But I don´t get a new session id after terminating the session with close.

Is it possible to get a new session id?

I receive the id with:

VaadinSession vSession = UI.getCurrent().getSession();
WrappedSession wSession = vSession.getSession();
ssnid = wSession.getId();

I´m not sure if it is only a problem of the eclipse integrated apache tomcat server. Expecting the same behavior regarding sessions as in the stand alone server job. I´m right?

Regards

VaadinSession.close() only closes the VaadinSession instance stored in the underlying HttpSession or PortalSession. Use WrappedSession.invalidate() to close the underlying session as well. Oh, and you don’t need ?restartApplication.
