Description

I am currently struggling with HTTP Whiteboard Session Listener. The custom HttpSessionListener callbacks are never getting triggered when HttpRequest#getSession() is invoked in servlets.
 
As an example,

@Component
@HttpWhiteboardListener
public final class ApplicationSession implements HttpSessionListener {
    private final AtomicInteger activeSessions = new AtomicInteger();

    @Override
    public void sessionCreated(final HttpSessionEvent sessionEvent) {
        activeSessions.incrementAndGet();
    }
    @Override
    public void sessionDestroyed(final HttpSessionEvent sessionEvent) {
        activeSessions.decrementAndGet();
    }
    public boolean isSessionValid() {
        return activeSessions.get() != 0;
    }
}

 
This is the custom listener I registered with the HTTP Whiteboard and it never gets invoked when I call HttpRequest#getSession().

The SCR Component is ACTIVE, that means, it is not ignored but never triggered.
