java - Perform custom event before Session Expiry in Spring

Question

I am beginner in Spring framework.

In my case Session can be expire by following way
--> Success Log-out (Explicit Log-out )

--> Session Timeout (Implicit Log-out )

I have do DML(record insertion) in database whenever some user log in and I want to perform DML(record deletion) in database whenever user session timeout (Implicit Log-out).

My Question is that is there any way in Spring that tell us before the expiry of session. So I can do perform my custom event before session expiry.

Thanks in advance

Yes, you can do that with SessionDestroyedEvent.

@Component
public class SessionEndedListener implements ApplicationListener<SessionDestroyedEvent> {

    @Override
    public void onApplicationEvent(SessionDestroyedEvent event)
    {
        for (SecurityContext securityContext : event.getSecurityContexts())
        {
            Authentication authentication = securityContext.getAuthentication();
            YourPrincipalClass user = (YourPrincipalClass) authentication.getPrincipal();
            // do something
        }
    }

}

And in web.xml:

<listener>
    <listener-class>
        org.springframework.security.web.session.HttpSessionEventPublisher
    </listener-class>
</listener>

This event will be fired for both the regular logout as well as the session timeout.
