How to track access time of a webpage using session in a JSP page?
This example describes how to use the HttpSession object to find out the creation time and the last-accessed time for a session. We would associate a new session with the request if one does not already exist.
Example
<%@ page import = "java.io.*,java.util.*" %> <% // Get session creation time. Date createTime = new Date(session.getCreationTime()); // Get last access time of this Webpage. Date lastAccessTime = new Date(session.getLastAccessedTime()); String title = "Welcome Back to my website"; Integer visitCount = new Integer(0); String visitCountKey = new String("visitCount"); String userIDKey = new String("userID"); String userID = new String("ABCD"); // Check if this is new comer on your Webpage. if (session.isNew() ) { title = "Welcome to my website"; session.setAttribute(userIDKey, userID); session.setAttribute(visitCountKey, visitCount); } visitCount = (Integer)session.getAttribute(visitCountKey); visitCount = visitCount + 1; userID = (String)session.getAttribute(userIDKey); session.setAttribute(visitCountKey, visitCount); %> <html> <head> <title>Session Tracking</title> </head> <body> <center> <h1>Session Tracking</h1> </center> <table border = "1" align = "center"> <tr bgcolor = "#949494"> <th>Session info</th> <th>Value</th> </tr> <tr> <td>id</td> <td><% out.print( session.getId()); %></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Creation Time</td> <td><% out.print(createTime); %></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Time of Last Access</td> <td><% out.print(lastAccessTime); %></td> </tr> <tr> <td>User ID</td> <td><% out.print(userID); %></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Number of visits</td> <td><% out.print(visitCount); %></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
Now put the above code in main.jsp and try to access http://localhost:8080/main.jsp. Once you run the URL, you will receive the following result −
Welcome to my website
Session Information
Session info | value |
---|---|
id | 0AE3EC93FF44E3C525B4351B77ABB2D5 |
Creation Time | Tue Jun 08 17:26:40 GMT+04:00 2010 |
Time of Last Access | Tue Jun 08 17:26:40 GMT+04:00 2010 |
User ID | ABCD |
Number of visits | 0 |
Now try to run the same JSP for the second time, you will receive the following result.
Welcome Back to my website
