Andrew,
I do this now. The way I'm doing it differs slightly from what Leandro suggests but
the principle is the same.
As soon as the user logs in, I set the username and password as session variables,
along with a session timeout. Then, in each succeeding page, I check to see that the
session hasn't timed out and that session.username and session.password are still
valid variables. If any of the above is applicable, I <jsp:forward> them to a page
explaining that they have timed out and redirect them to the log in page. The interim
page is probably unnecessary but it allows the user to understand what is happening
instead of thinking some kind of error has occurred.
Cheers,

Subject: Re: Detect Session Expired, redirect to page
Put an object in the session, like
"session.putValue("myObj",new Object())", on your
first access to the application, then test if myObj is
null when you want to detect that a session has
expired or not.
