Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I am using the most recent version of Tomcat Server(4.1.8). I have a simple Test Servlet which is using HttpSessionListener. Container is not invoking sessionCreated & sessionDestroyed methods when i run the servlet.

Following is the servlet code.

------------------------------------------------------------
//logMessage is my method that inserts given text into the test database.

public class dbServlet extends HttpServlet implements HttpSessionListener{

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,IOException{
logMessage("doGet Method");
}

public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent e){
logMessage("Session Created");
}
public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent e){
logMessage("Session Destroyed");
}
