The javadocs of HttpSession.getLastAccessedTime() have this: * Returns the last time the client sent a request associated with * this session, as the number of milliseconds since midnight * January 1, 1970 GMT, and marked by the time the container received the * request. Notice the "associated with this session". Only if a request creates or resumes a session should the session's lastAccessedTime be updated. Jan >I am a bit confused why.
