request.getRemoteUser() tells you if the user is authenticated.

Have you looked at session listeners?
It depends what you mean by login and logout.
If login is the transition from request.getRemoteUser()==null to
request.getRemoteUser()!=null and logout is when the session is invalidated
then a combination of request.getRemoteUser() and a session listener should
be all you need.

By login or logout, I mean the actual physical login and logout actions by the user concerned which I expect translate to request.getRemoteUser()==null for logout and request.getRemoteUser()!=null for login. But I'm not familiar with session listeners so I will be looking at them later.
Do you have any sample code at all?
Thanks
