Hi Derek,

I assume you're using the session-fw.

The session timeout is set in your servlet engine's
web.xml file.  For Tomcat it is conf/web.xml:

<session-config>
  <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>

As soon as the session expires, your protected
resources will require authenitcation prior to
accessing.  In your handler you specify a "redirect-to
uri", usually it is your login page:

<handler name="some-name">
 <redirect-to uri="cocoon://login.html"/>
 <authentication uri="cocoon:raw:/authenticate"/>

I believe the answer is the same as #2.
