You can approach the problem from the other direction.
If the session has expired then the current session will still be new.
<%
boolean lb_test = session.isNew() ;
if (lb_test) out.print("we have a new session");
%>
isNew
Returns "true" if a session object has been created but not accessed by
client. Returns "false" if a session object has been used by the client.
Of course you can also tell by the fact if your session is invalidated then
you will get a IllegalStateException exception and you can work from that
angle also
