Not really Struts related... It's fairly easy to generate random numbers in Java, so you could take a random number and "convert" it into letters. You could look at the Tomcat source code that generates the jsessionid and use that. Not sure what you mean by checking the date stamp... When you issue this key, you have to put it somewhere, which could be a HashMap in Application scope, or in a database. Wherever you put it, store the datestamp nearby and check it when you read the record. If it's too old, throw an exception.
