System.out.println("It should not be printed...");
}
but instead of forwarding request requset the message "It should not be printed..." is get printed..

do a requestDispatcher.sendForward() instead.
sendRedirect does not take immediate effect. It will tell the browser to submit a new request for the redirection resource AFTER the service method of the servlet returns.
In other words, you need to place a return statement after a redirection to force the servlet to complete the response.

Hello,

Is there any sendForward() method is RequestDispatcher Interface. I think it should be forward(..).

Thanks

if(session.getValue("ISEXPIRED")==null){

Also, getValue has been deprecated, use getAttribute instead.
