I normally don't. I use the entry page to authenticate the
username/password and then just store the user's info, like name, last
logged on, access level in a bean. I then code each page with this rule:
"if for some reason the user bean is null, then show an error message
instead of the normal page."
The user bean will be null if the username/password authentication scheme
fails *or* if the session becomes invalid (usually an automatic 15 minutes
timeout).
I've used this approach for 3 different web-app projects and it works great.
