Through standard APIs, no. You can get a reference to the session object during the initial handshake but you'd have to keep a reference to it and then cast it to an internal Tomcat object and poke around via reflection to get Tomcat's internal session object and call access(). If the Servlet EG could be convinced to add an access() method... (this would have to wait until Servlet 4.next / Java EE 9) We could provide an internal API that would make this a lot easier (still requires casting but no reflection). That assumes it is always safe to let an application update a session's last access time. I can't think of a good reason not to allow this.
