Joakim,
It's easy to test for a live session (JSP code) :
if(session == null) { response.sendRedirect("/logged-out.jsp"); return; }
You might want to read up on sessions and how to use them, for instance by
checking out Jason Hunter's book.
Obviously restarting the server destroys all current sessions...
