Unless you specially want someone to be logged out, you can simply re-create the session after it expires and carry on as normal. If you do want the user to be logged out, then you could save the current form data in a cookie, or alternately save the submitted data and post it to the the login page and then return the user including the data back to where they were after they login again.
