It is pretty much useless if it simply returns the time the current request
(or a request after the current one) accessed the session. This is exactly
what JServe (1.0b3) does. It sets the lastAccessTime before calling
service(). It would be very easy to move the call that sets lastAccessTime
to occur after the call to service(). It appears that Jetty sets
lastAccessTime before it calls service() also.
Is there any use for it if it usually just returns the time the current
request accessed it?
