Handling Session expiry with Ajax4JSF

[balajisaranath]

Hi,

I have a page where the user performs some operation on a network server. This might take more time than the session expiry (30 mins as of now). Meanwhile, I keep the user informed of the progress through result display through a4j:poll mechanism.

However, when the session expires, everything fails.

Can I use Ajax4JSF to keep my session alive.

I'm kind of new to this. Am not sure if I'm missing something.

Thanks
Bala

Do you mean that a4j:poll that performs the periodical calls does not help to keep the session alive?

Hi,

Even if the ajax request is sent to the server every 2 seconds using a4:poll, after 30 minutes i.e after the the timeout, i get a pop up "This page contains both secure and non-secre items do you want to display". When i click on yes or no, i get that the Active page is expired.But the main process is running in the background.
So i am not sure whether the a4j:poll is keeping the session alive.
This is the first time I am using a4j:poll.
Any suggestions?

Sergey,

Weirdly, it does seem so. Is it possible that it can happen?
