I have stored a user bean in session as @SessionAttributes({"UserBean"})
in my controller.
My aim is to redirect user to login/error page if session is expired. Following is my code snippet
@RequestMapping(value = "searchOpportunity.htm", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView searchOpportunity(@ModelAttribute("UserBean") UserBean userBean) {
functionName = "searchOpportunity";
logger.info("HERE !!! In " + className + " - " + functionName + " ");
System.out.println("HERE !!! In " + className + " - " + functionName + " ");
try {
if (userBean == null) {
System.out.println(userBean);
return new ModelAndView("userLogout", "command", null);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return new ModelAndView("opportunity/opportunitySearch", "command", new SearchOpportunityBean());
}
However when the session is expired i get the following error.
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke

Seems like the controller code is never executed if userbean is expired. What is the reason ? What can be a solution ?
