Session Timeout Warning [message #839057]

Hello,

I would like to show a message for the user if their session is about to time out (say 2 min) due to inactivity. Is there a recommended way to do so?

Thanks,
Ronald

You would need a ui call back active to display a server initiated event to the client. This would result in a new request being sent to the server, resetting the session timeout. The only way to do it while still using the servlet containers session timeout would be with entirely with Javascript, resetting a timer every time a request is made to the server.

I've been looking in to similar functionality (detect "inactive" clients who leave their browser open and leave documents open and locked...) but I haven't got anything I would be proud to share yet.

Although this does not quite address the feature of having the user notified when their session is about to timeout, It does address the idea of having a custom timeout shown, which you could extend to your purposes:
