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

I was just wondering why I was getting a valid session when the session was indeed expired. -----Original Message----- From: faisal abdallah [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 2:30 PM To: Struts Developers List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Session Timeout This can be done easily with javascript inside the main layout email me on [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will send you the code skillipedia.com -----Original Message----- From: John De Lello [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 11:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Session Timeout Hey Everyone, I am trying to use a custom session timeout JSP. To do this, I extended "RequestProcessor" and overrode "processPreprocess" and added the following code: HttpSession sess = req.getSession(false); if(sess == null){ // even when the session IS timed out, I never get here. String uri = "/myapp/sessiontimeout.jsp"; try{ doForward(uri, req, resp); }catch(Exception ex){} return false; } The problem is, even when I know the session was expired, I never get a null session. Am I missing something?
