session timeout and ajax calls

[visionbytes]

Hey guys,

wondering if you had any information on timeouts and ajax posts after the fact.

so the scenario is.
1. user logs in
2. user session expires
3. user clicks on a4j:commandLink (or whatever)
4. my phaselistener picks up the expired session, but the forward to index.jsf doesnt seem to work.

I have heard of the A4J.AJAX.onExpired function, but can't seem to get any custom behaviour going on.

Any help would be great!

Cheers

Redirect from phaselistener does not work as soon as the Ajax object is waiting for response, but not the browser itself. So, using custom A4J.AJAX.onExpired is a right way to go. Did you try it or just heard about it?

Thanks Sergey,

I have not really played with it, can i just override the method ie.

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--

A4J.AJAX.onExpired = function(loc,expiredMsg){
alert("session expired")
}

//-->
</SCRIPT>

in the head element of my xhtml?

Hi Sergey,

Was wondering if you could post up some example code? I'm pretty sure i;m not on the right track,
