Your mistake here is thinking that the servlet api was intended to be useful :)
You have to do something like this:
boolean expired = false;
try
{
session.getAttribute("anything"):
expired = false;
}
catch (IllegalStateException e)
{
expired = true;
}
No, in a filter you can just call session.isNew()
You can do a redirect in a filter like this:
((HttpServletResponse) response).sendRedirect(newUrl);
return;
instead of calling chain.doFilter() to pass control on to
later filters or the JSP.

All filters do this by default, to pass control on. Trust me,
you don't have to alter the MyFaces filter.
I love filters. Who needs an MVC framework when you've got filters
to be the controllers? :-)
