Tip:

  Assuming you have a superclass that all your components and pages  
share you can add existingSession(), which can check hasSession() and  
return Null if one doesn't exist.

  Another tip:

   Override performActionNamed() to use pageWithName() in  
WODirectAction to make a one-to-one mapping between direct action  
names and page names. You can then use direct actions everywhere that  
isn't a form. That's what we do: http://www.marketocracy.com

  If you have the Wrox WO book, read Chapter 7, I wrote it and have  
some suggestions in there for making DAs easier to use then regular  
actions.
