I'm following this example to set up a HttpSessionListener for my Spring app. Unfortunately, I'm not able to modify any of the XML files, so my problem is the following line:

<web-app ...>
    <listener>
      <listener-class>com.mkyong.SessionCounterListener</listener-class>
    </listener>
</web-app>

Is there any way to add the listener programmatically without modifying any XML file? And if so, how and where to do it?

Are you using Servlet 3.0? – Sotirios Delimanolis Jan 07 '14 at 14:34
why u couldnt modify your xml file?what error you are getting while doing it? – Kamlesh Arya Jan 07 '14 at 14:37
Actually, I'm just modifying a project that was given to me, so @SotiriosDelimanolis, I actually don't know. How to find out? – vauge Jan 07 '14 at 14:39
Check the `` element's `version` attribute. – Sotirios Delimanolis Jan 07 '14 at 14:40
@Kamlesh Arya: Because there is no XML file and I have no idea why. – vauge Jan 07 '14 at 14:40
@SotiriosDelimanolis same problem here, the project doesn't have any XML files except for a file named `pom.xml`. – vauge Jan 07 '14 at 14:41
check your src/main/webapp/WEB-INF folder ,web.xml file should be there – Kamlesh Arya Jan 07 '14 at 14:44
@KamleshArya: nope, there's just `templates` and `resources`, no `WEB-INF` folder. – vauge Jan 07 '14 at 14:46
