I do something similar. I don't know which version of Struts you are using,
but I decided to create a general SessionTimeoutException and forward the
User to a SessionTimeout page when that error occurs. I'm simply configured
a GeneralFoward for the SessionTimeout page.
protected void ensureSessionSecurity(HttpServletRequest request)
throws AzDiasMinerSessionTimeoutException
{
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
if(session == null || session.isNew())
{
session.invalidate();
throw new AzDiasMinerSessionTimeoutException();
}
}
On the respective page the User can read about the Timeout. You just need to
catch and forward on this exception.
}
catch(AzDiasMinerSessionTimeoutException ase)
{
return mapping.findForward("session_timeout");
}
I also did that in a subclass of Action.
PLEASE NOTE: You have to check for isNew() cause Tomcat e.g. creates a new
session even if your call getSession() with false. The Specs say that null
should normally be returned instead.

Betreff: SessionTimeout handling
Hi,
I am trying to handle session timeout by extending the ActionServlet.
I am trying to use the request method isRequestedSessionIdValid() coupled
with checking the session for my userbean.
Please comment about this code. Advice if there is a better way to do
session timeout trapping.
/***************************************************************************
***/
public boolean processPreprocess(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
{
/* "UserBean" is a bean which represents the logged in user. */
if( request.isRequestedSessionIdValid() ||
request.getSession().getAttribute("UserBean") != null)
return true;
else
{
try
{
request.getRequestDispatcher("SessionTimeout.do").forward(request,response);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}
}
/***************************************************************************
***/
Regards,
Sanoj Antony
