Do you generally put any session related expiry code in a base action class so you can forward prior to calling your execute() method in the action if the session is no longer "active"?
That is, I really wouldn't want any of the action class code running, and currently the application I'm working on was Model 1 which routed to a Logout.jsp when the session information was missing. I'm in the process of rewriting it. Since the action is firing before the JSP, I can see where it might execute something and not get trapped until it hits the JSP. [Like save a record w/o putting in the user's information which was maintained in the session and now we don't know who changed the record.] Am I missing the boat here?
