RE: session time-out in pop-up windows
Why not call request.isRequestedSessionIdValid() to find out if the session timed out? Or, try something inside struts such as request.getSession().isNew() to see if the session didn't exist before the call, then see if the session Id came from a cookie or embedded in the URL: 1) request.isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie() 2) request.isRequestedSessionIdFromUrl() Method name might be URL, not "Url" depending on your JDK level. Why use a complicated filter? Just add that to your action's Or throw it into your module's RequestProcessor, OR use it to throw an Exception (Struts 1.1), that is defined as the appropriate login page for your webapp?

RE: session time-out in pop-up windows
Chinmay,
If you don't want to mess with your URLs or add parameters (and I don't blame
you), you can pass the list of popup urls to your filter:
AuthFilter
com.chinmay.AuthFilter
popupUrl1
/infoBox.do
popupUrl2
/notice.do
You can collect these in your filter ("all init params that start with
'popupUrl'") and respond accordingly.

You'd have to find a way to identify the popup. It could be because of

That's a good idea Hubert. Actually, even if you weren't using
filters, you could just test for this "popup" parameter wherever you
are doing your active session check.

RE: session time-out in pop-up windows
You'd have to find a way to identify the popup. It could be because of
the requested resource ("myPopup" or any page with "popup") or a special
request parameter which will only be sent by a request for a popup
window ("href='/mycontext/myinfodisplay.do?myActualParam=1&isPopup").
Either way, the filter will have to be notified somehow that "Hey, this
particular request here is a popup!"
When it does, then you can redirect the popup to a different page which
does nothing but send the parent to a different url and close itself.

Thanks for this.
But how would filter recognise that the request was sent by a popup? As
I understand, the process is like:
- pop-up window opens
- Page would read global forward url from the struts config file (the
page to display)
- It will check filter: if "filter pass" is true display url page else
display error page.
So I am not sure, how Step 3 and then 4 could be implemented.
