session timeout is processed before the servlet filter?

[Ken]

any ideas if the session timeout is processed before the servlet
filter processing?

It seems to be session timeout defined in web.xml will hit first, and
then go to the filter definted in web.xml.

please advice. thanks!!

Look at it this way. Filters, by definition, are pre-processing or post-
processing requests and responses. But if you have a session timeout
event then there is no request or response. Maybe I'm missing something
here, but what exactly is the scenario?
