59 /**
60  * The SessionValidator attempts to retrive the User object from the
61  * Servlet API session that is associated with the request. If the
62  * data cannot be retrieved, it is handled here. If the user has not
63  * been marked as being logged into the system, the user is rejected
64  * and the screen is set to the screen.homepage value in
65  * TurbineResources.properties.
66  *
67  * <p>
68  *
69  * Other systems generally have a database table which stores this
70  * information, but we take advantage of the Servlet API here to save
71  * a hit to the database for each and every connection that a user
72  * makes.
73  *
74  * <p>
75  *
76  * This action is special in that it should only be executed by the
77  * Turbine servlet.
