I haven't looked at this code in detail, but my thoughts on this are:
getLastAccessedTime() needs to return the (last - 1) during a request,
or it won't behave correctly for servlet code. After a request is finished,
lastAccessedTime should be updated to = thisAccessTime, so
getLastAccessedTime() will return the time of the last request when
checked by the expiration code. Is this not the case?
