Well, invalidating the session and redirecting if a certain session value is completly different. Which do you want to do ?

Invalidating the session will destroy the session and unbind any objects associated with it :

(

http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.2/javadoc/javax/servlet/http/HttpSession.html#invalidate()

)

This does not mean redirection. When you click "refresh" or whatver - you'll be assigned a new session ...
