I don't think there is a reliable solution other than you must set a timeout for the session.

HttpSession.setMaxInactiveInterval(int interval)

You would put your database rectifying code in a HttpSessionListener's sessionDestroyed method. This is configured in your web.xml. Check out the apache jakarta taglibs for handy tags that aren't in the standard jsp.
