Hello everyone,

Hope you can help with this problem. I am deciding how to correctly handle sessions with struts. The problem I am having is that I want to keep the session open after I process the action and into the view.

I cannot close the session before going to the jsp page because I have a few lazy collections that are queried during the jsp page and they require an open session.

I have read a little about a servlet filter, however, does the filter close the connection after the jsp page has been sent? or before?

Also, what happens if a session remains open (doesn't get closed for some reason)?

thanks for any help!

I think I found the answer to mine own question:
