I disagree. I think that a filter is best suited for what you are trying to accomplish. Whenever a request is submitted to your application, you should verify that the user is valid before anything else takes place. As such, a filter meets that requirement (among other things). In addition, implementing a filter doesn't negate any work done in struts. On the contrary, in my opinion, it enhances application. > b) throw an exception that you've globally configured > Struts to handle (declarative exception handling) Another option is to throw a "session expired" specific exception (from the filter) and manage it in your container. Of course (as mentioned in another post) you can also use response.sendRedirect("/path/to/your/action/") Hope this helps.
