I am developing a simple client for my organization as a demo for using alfresco in real projects in the organization.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am using java foundation API and I already have some success in uploading and searching files. I can login too.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Now the question is this - </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Once i login through my client, I am unable to logout. Also, once I login in one browser using my client app, I can open my app in another browser and can upload files without login.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>My code is as follows - </SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />@Override<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;public String authenticate(String username, String password) {<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AuthenticationService authenticationService = serviceRegistry<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.getAuthenticationService();<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;try {<BR /><BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;authenticationService<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.authenticate(username, password.toCharArray());<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;String ticket = authenticationService.getNewTicket();<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;authenticationService.validate(ticket);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LOGGER.info("successful login - " + username);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;return ticket;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;} catch (AuthenticationException ex) {<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;throw new AuthenticationFailException(LOGIN_FAILED, ex);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<BR /><BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<BR /><BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@Override<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;public void logout(String username, String ticket) {<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AuthenticationService authenticationService = serviceRegistry<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.getAuthenticationService();<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;try {<BR />//&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LOGGER.debug("current ticket(before logout) = " + ticket);<BR /><BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (authenticationService.authenticationExists(username)) {<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;authenticationService.invalidateTicket(ticket);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;authenticationService.invalidateUserSession(username);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<BR />//&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LOGGER.debug("Authentication exists after logout ="<BR />//&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;+ authenticationService.authenticationExists(username));<BR />//&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LOGGER.debug("current ticket(after logout)"<BR />//&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;+ authenticationService.getCurrentTicket());<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;} catch (AuthenticationException e) {<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;throw new InvalidSessionException(INVALID_SESSION, e);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;} catch (AuthenticationCredentialsNotFoundException e) {<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;throw new InvalidSessionException(INVALID_SESSION, e);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><BR /><SPAN>Also, I think there should be some handle for session, so that I can use it in every request I make to alfresco.
