Have you thought about using a Filter? filters can do pre and post processing on requests/responses and you can map it to any set of servlets or jsp's you want meaning that all your logic is in a single place and none of the servlets/jsp's even know it is there so you don't even have to account for it in your servlets/jsps. Also, you could use an HttpSessionListener to run code at the start or the end of a session.
