This must then be related to the session-timeout problem I am facing. This is what is happening:
When my Session - currently set to 1 minute in web.xml - times-out clicking on any LINK automatically redirects me to the Login Page. On re-logging in, through the logs I am observing that it is not going to the LoggingAction Class but directly to the Link that was clicked. But the problem is in my LoggingAction I set a number of Session Variables such as "principalInSession" which are referenced by the pages This session attribute "principalInSession" remains "null" and hence I get a NullPointerException. The surprising thing is that on Time-out if I refresh the page and then redirected to the Login-page, the above problem doesn't occur i.e it goes to the LoggingAction class and everything is normal. Thanks for all your help.

FORM authentication requires a session so one gets created as soon as you request a protected page, ie before the user has actually logged in.
