Session Time Out

Hi all,

I am setting the web application to time out in 60 mins. After that if 
the user sends a request from the expired browser session I was hoping 
to identify that state using "request.getSession(false) == null" in my 
Action Servlet.

But I am noticing that "request.getSession(false)" is never null. When I 
looked carefully at the other attributes on Session, I noticed that the 
"isNew" attribute is set to true. According to the API, 
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest.html#getSession(boolean), 
request.getSession(false)  should return null when there is no session 
in progress for that request. I am wondering if the web server creates a 
session if there is not one associated with this request.

Could some one confirm if this is true? I am using JDK 1.3 and Weblogic 6.1

Thanks!

Hi Kumar,
struts will create the session. AFAIK there is no way to disable it in 
struts.
