Dave,
There are multiple ways provided by
the Servlet API which will tell you whether the current session is valid (is not
expired). The HttpServletRequest has a method called

helps,
isRequestedSessionIdValid() (http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/index.html).
A false return from this method indicates that the request is associated with an
expired session. You can also query the HttpSession object by calling the
isNew() method which will tell you whether you have a new session as opposed to
an expired session.

Subject: expired session or new session?
I like to display a message to user saying "Session Expired" when a session
expires.
After a session expired, everything in session scope are gone. So my
question actually becomes:
How to tell the difference between "Expired Session" and new session?
Thanks!
