Suggestion: In your filter, stick the current timestamp as an attribute in the httpSession.
Before you do that though, check the timestamp that got stuck there on the last request. If the delta > threshold, bounce the user to the right page. If you *really* wanted, you could generate an ActionError inside of the filter I suppose, so the login page displays the reason he wound up there, but I've never tried that, and my newbie self kind of shudders at that. -Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Arne Brutschy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 4:11 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: how to create an error message with a filter > > > Hello, > > I want to create a error message with my authentication > filter.
