I think I found the offending code. It is located in the Struts RequestProcessor.processLocale method (which is called *before* the pre-process). In that method is the following code:
// Has a Locale already been selected? HttpSession session = request.getSession(); So I will *always* get a non-null session when I get control in the processPreprocess method. There doesn't seem to be a hook before any processing is done.

However, there could be a filter, request processor, action, or JSP somewhere that does a request.getSession() or .getSession(true) (or '... session="true"...' in JSP), which all will create a session if none exists. If it's buried deep enough in a chain of filters it could *appear* to be magic :-) There is a method isNew() on the session that you can check to see if it's a new session that might help in your case. -ed On 8/30/06, Nuwan Chandrasoma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi, > > I think a new session is created if you invoke an action mapping. this code will not work. what you have to do is, add some attribute to the session.. and check if that attribute is on the session. if not you can redirect to your session timeout page. > > Correct me if i am worng in here. > > Thanks, > > Nuwan > > John De Lello <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The mandate is no JS.
