The only thing that I
can think of is to redirect the user to a different (perhaps error)

exactly, send them back to wherever they go to select the foo they want to
look at.  Do you have a SelectFooAction?

Thank you Don.
I have done that and the session expiry problem is solved. The
bookmark problem still exists though...
There is a way to overcome this as well:

  ActionForward forward = new ActionForward();
  forward.setPath(mapping.findForward("reload").getPath() + "&id=23");

which redirects to http://my.foo.site/loadFoo.do&id=23 , but this is
a hack I wouldn't like to use (plus I would have to change the code
for ~60 classes many of which are DispatchActions: a lot of work
:))...
