You may want to try populating a session object from the database and then

Mike,

If it works as expected, then (Michael M) what you might consider is on
the servlet that 'upgrades' the user from trial to 'not trial'
invalidate the session, and redirect to a protected page. This would
make the container authenticate the user again, meaning the user would
need to login
A simple alternative is to add a page which has a meta-refresh - and the user
gets a message saying you'll be redirected in a moment. Then meta refresh
action automagically logs them back in.
