I have tried your suggestion. It still takes two
steps to go back to the welcome page.
As long as there are two actions in between, it does
not seem that I can go directly from "clicking the
LOGOUT buttion" to "have the welcome page displayed".
I really wish to learn what people usually do - the
first one of those two actions is Logoff.java in which
I invalidate the session, ..., etc. and the second
action upon success will lead the user to the welcome
page in which choices available for unregistered
members plus a LOGON buttion are provided.
