No- but my lame workaround is to stick something in the session and
test to see if it's null in which case I explicitly set session to null.
e.g.
HttpSession session = req.getSession(false);
// Unless a user profile exists, the session is null
if (session != null) {
Object user = session.getAttribute("user");
if (user == null)
session = null;
}
