logout not working in spring mvc

Question

After logging in to my application, I can't able to log out

@SessionAttributes("email")
public class HomeController {

    @RequestMapping(value = {"/logout"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String logout(HttpSession session, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response){
        session.invalidate();

        return "home";
    }

}

My home.jsp page,

 <p>${email}</p>
<a href="logout">Logout</a>

After clicked log out button still, email variable showing...

Answer 1

@RequestMapping(value = {"/logout"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String logout(HttpServletRequest request, SessionStatus session){
    session.setComplete();
    request.getSession().invalidate();
    return "login";
}

Try this if you want to reset email session attribute.

Answer 2

Please, can you check if there's anything in the session object of that class or is it null? else try request.getSession().invalidate(); This should work!

@RequestMapping(value = {"/logout"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String logout(HttpServletRequest request, SessionStatus session){
    session.setComplete();
    request.getSession().invalidate();
    return "login";
}
