I made a mistake with the method names, perhaps this is much clearer
public interface SessionLeaseable {
public void updateLastAccessTime();
public long getLastAccessTime() ;
}
Clearly every `SessionLeasable' will call its `updateLastAccessTime()'
method to refresh the internal time value.
Here is an example of a bean that avoids the threading issue
public AcmeBean implements SessionLeaseable {
String coffee;
volatile long actime;
public String getCoffee() {
updateLastAccessTime(); // !
return actime;
}
public void setCoffee( s ) {
updateLastAccessTime(); // !
this.coffee = x;
}
public synchronised void updateLastAccessTime()
{ actime = System.currentMillisecs(); }
public synchronised long getLastAccessTime()
{ return actime; }
}
Moreover, if you follow the AXIOM, that
"every navigation invokes an ACTION that generates a VIEW
and I never navigate to VIEW directly"
then you can write logic to reactivate beans that have been timed-out,
or take appropriate countermeasure in your Struts Action.

Got to be a bit careful about threading issues here.
Code inside struts does:
use getAttribute() to get form
...
do some tests on attribute
...
return form for processing
So if your sweeper does its delete after the getAttribute()
your JSP page may well be unhappy.
