I read the FAQ on how to handle logins to an application and I'm left with
one question:
Why stop a storing a Boolean in the session to determine logged-inness?
Why not just store the (validated) User object in the session and check
The problems/questions I can see are:
As a single textfile is used, when there are several thousand
entries it will become difficult to manage. Can updates be
made, during operation, to the content ?
What happens if a
user requests the files content while it is being edited ?

I'm using JBuilder 8 Enterprise and Tomcat 4.1.
Whenever you use JB to build a servlet application, it defaults to
building the project such that the root directory is named after the
project itself.
This is especially annoying in struts as I'm finding I need to name all
my actions
Suggestion:
In your filter, stick the current timestamp as an attribute in the
httpSession.
Before you do that though, check the timestamp that got stuck there on
the last request. If the delta threshold, bounce the user to the right
page.

Actually, you haven't illustrated it. You've just stated it.
In the ActionForm there are methods like validate() that accept as

Same holds true in the Action class' execute() method.
