Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	onExpiration(Session session) Notification callback that occurs when the corresponding Session has expired.
void	onStart(Session session) Notification callback that occurs when the corresponding Session has started.
void	onStop(Session session) Notification callback that occurs when the corresponding Session has stopped, either programmatically via Session.stop() or automatically upon a subject logging out.

Method Detail

onStart

void onStart(Session session)

Notification callback that occurs when the corresponding Session has started.

Parameters:

session - the session that has started.

onStop

void onStop(Session session)

Notification callback that occurs when the corresponding Session has stopped, either programmatically via Session.stop() or automatically upon a subject logging out.

Parameters:

session - the session that has stopped.

onExpiration

void onExpiration(Session session)

Notification callback that occurs when the corresponding Session has expired.

Note: this method is almost never called at the exact instant that the Session expires. Almost all session management systems, including Shiro's implementations, lazily validate sessions - either when they are accessed or during a regular validation interval. It would be too resource intensive to monitor every single session instance to know the exact instant it expires.

If you need to perform time-based logic when a session expires, it is best to write it based on the session's lastAccessTime and not the time when this method is called.

Parameters:

session - the session that has expired.
