There is a workaround: write a Filter (you know how I love to write
Filters):

The filter would check the session for a special timestamp attribute. If
the current URL is /not/ the URL to the heartbeat, then update the
timestamp in the session. If it /is/ the heartbeat URL, then perform a
check: is the timestamp stored in the session older than - whatever you
want. If it is, call session.invalidate() and force the session to die.
