Redirection when session expires 1

[Gaelle]

Hi !

It's me again asking silly questions about JSP !
Is there a way to tell pages or sessions : when the session expires (time out), and the user cliks anywhere not available any longer, redirect him to the URL : index.jsp for example ?

Thanks !

I'm sure theres a better way but i usually just add in a little code at the top saying

if((String)session.getAttribute("Username&quot.equals("&quot)
{
response.redirect("../thispages.jsp"
}
else
{
reset of code
}

I just use an attribute which i know should always contain something. This is also a useful (probably not too good but useful none the less) way of placing security on the page. If the username is equal to "" then they have not yet been verified.

hope this helps
