I do this by putting an object into their session after a successfull login.
Then in all pages that require a valid session, I check for the existance of this object (using a filter). If this object is null, I forward them to the login page.

This would acomplish what you want. If they try to submit the form after the session expires, they would be sent to login.

You could set a session timeout, either with the <session-timeout> in the web.xml or with the setMaxInactiveInterval in the servlet/jsp, then if that time the user was inactive then the session expires and any objects in the session are deleted, then you would have to check for your session and if not valid.... goes back to the login
