expired session or new session?

[Dave]

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!

RE: expired session or new session?

[Dr Swarn S. Dhaliwal]

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 
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.

Hope this 
helps,
Swarn
