Question

logout with basic authentication without closing webbrowser like banking sites will display

Answer 1

A:

Make use of meta refresh header in combination with HttpSession#getMaxInactiveInterval(). It returns the remaining lifetime of the HttpSession in seconds and that's exactly what you need in a meta refresh header.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="${pageContext.session.maxInactiveInterval};url=expired.jsp">

Include this header in your HTML <head>. If the session timeout has been reached, then the browser will automatically redirect the page to the specified url, which is expired.jsp in above example.
