Hi Russell,
Thanks. But I don't understand your solution. See below.

[Bartsch Axel] the situation: a request using target=x (not equal _top)
arrives at my servlet, the servlet finds out that the session has expired and wants to
send the login page in the response: and the servlet wants this page in target=_top.
So how can the servlet change the target in the response?
