I don't know if there's an easy way to tell your user that they've timed out before they"submit" something, but in your JSP/servlet action you can also use something like
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false); where "request" is HttpServletRequest. If "session" is null, the timeout has expired and you can display an appropriate page.
