Detecting page reload of the browser [message #502944]

I have implemented a login dialog that opens prior to the perspective in openWindows():

public class ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor extends WorkbenchAdvisor {
	@Override
	public boolean openWindows() {
		LoginDialog loginDialog = new LoginDialog();
		loginDialog.open();
	}
}

// login is done via JAAS and JBoss org.jboss.security.client.SecurityClient

SecurityClient securityClient = SecurityClientFactory.getSecurityClient();
securityClient.setSimple(userName, password);
securityClient.login();

This works fine. When the user hits F5 in his browser, the Perspective is being rebuild. So the WorkbenchAdvisor calls again openWindows(), and the LoginDialog re-appears. I have no session information at this moment, so I can't decide, to skip the login dialog.

How can I detect a browser reload?

Edit:
Does a web page reload on a RAP application always destroys the session as outlined here? http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=tree&th=42428
The RAP online demos treat F5 as a simple GUI redraw, which is a fine feature as long as there is no session information incorporated.

Edit:
I added a SessionStoreListener. The beforeDestroy() is being called just after the page reload. Curiously the session id stays the same with several page reloads. Can I re-register the HttpSession object somehow?

		RWT.getSessionStore().addSessionStoreListener(new SessionStoreListener() {

			@Override
			public void beforeDestroy(SessionStoreEvent event) {

				HttpSession session = event.getSessionStore().getHttpSession();
				System.out.println("SESSION  destroyed, session id = " + session.getId()); //$NON-NLS-1$
			}

		});
