Do something before window closes after user presses [x]

I'm building an instant messenger application.I need to add an action event on the default closing button of the Swing JFrame(The little "x").
When the client presses the X button,I need to tell the server that he goes offline and only after that action occures I have to close the window.I can't seem to find how to get an action listener on the default button.

  • take a look of this may its helps you. Closing an Application
    You can give your own implementation if some one press close button. 

    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);

frame.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter()
 {
   public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
    {
      // Here you can give your own implementation according to you.
     }
  });
