what happens when I write the below in mypage.jsp?
tiles:insert path=template.jsp
put name=currentModule value=mymoudle /

Is currentMoudle a bean? if it is ,what scope it exists

To do what you require, instead of scheduling a job for each entry after
24hrs, i would include a timestamp in the database, then say every hour,
check for expired entries and delete them.
All this sounds very complex, what's wrong with encoding the time in the
url (securely) and testing it when you perform the action? Alternatively
store the request time and id on the server.

I second the below - when you pull the user info from the database check
the timestamp and in it's greater then 24hrs, delete it and kick the
user out... then you can just cleanup the database daily, weekly, etc at
off peak times... this way nothing is dependent on a job running...
