[FIXED] HttpSessionListener doesn't work

Issue

I have implemented HttpSessionListiner but it doesn't work. Checked it with debuger - new session creates after entering servlet, JSESSION_ID changes after login, but session.getCreateTime() stays the same(session stays the same?). Using annotations, Spring Security. Maybe i missed some config in spring security?

import javax.servlet.annotation.WebListener;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionEvent;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

@WebListener
public class SessionListener implements HttpSessionListener {

    private static int totalActiveSessions;
    private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(SessionListener.class);  

    @Override
    public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent se) {
        totalActiveSessions++;
        log.warn("sessionCreated - add one session into counter");
    }

    @Override
    public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se) {
        totalActiveSessions--;
        log.debug("sessionDestroyed - deleted one session from counter");
    }
}

Solution

@Bean
public ServletListenerRegistrationBean<HttpSessionListener> sessionListener() {
    return new ServletListenerRegistrationBean<HttpSessionListener>(new sessionListener());
}

This bean registrated my listener. I haven't found another solution.
