Hi

My question is about handling the stale session caused by user exit 
application without logout. I use a table to maintain session info and user, 
e.g, session id, user oid.
If the user exits the application without logout properly or the web server 
restart, there is a record left on the table.
I am planning to check the validity of the session id on the table when the 
user next login.
Is it possible to check whether the session is still alive or not by telling 
the session id?

Thanks
