How setup JBoss for the Timeout ?

[changemylife]

Hi all!
I use

jboss-4.0.5.GA, EJB3.0

Does Jboss support the timeout if the client (A) was login and he do nothing in a specific time (example 10 minutes), then A will logout automatically?
Please guide to me or show me some article about my this problem.
Thank!

Catania.

Are you looking for the session-timeout of a web-application? If so, you can set it in the web.xml file.

I am looking for the session-timeout ! So, I must configure inside my jboss.xml, am I right ? Can show me a fragment of this problem inside jboss.xml ?

Thanks very much.

By default, the session timeout is 30 minutes. If you want to configure this for your application, you can do it in the web.xml file(present in WEB-INF folder of your application). Add the following element at the appropriate place in that file (please check the web.xml dtd http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd for more details):

<session-config>
 <session-timeout>5</session-timeout>
 </session-config>

In this example above, i have configured the session-timeout to 5 minutes.

Thanks.

Oh, sorry! My application is not web-application (my application has two file jboss.xml and ejb-jar.xml and both of them exist inside the META-INF folder).

So where I configure timeout for my application ?

Catania, if your application is not a web-application, can you please explain which login/logout we are talking about? That will help us understand the question better. Also, going by your explanation, i understand that your's is an EJB application. What are the clients to your application? Is it accessed from some web-application or a standalone application or some other EJB or is it from some other client?

My application use DatabaseLoginModule and JAAS.
I write a login form (standalone application) to client can enter userName and passWord. And after client login successful, he can call some methods on beans. Example:

LoginContext lc = new LoginContext("client", loginForm);
lc.login();
...My works here... ---> call some methods on beans
lc.logout();

My mind is if he login successful, and he do nothing and 10 minutes later, he will logout automatically (same as window system).
I thanks for some your relplies, it's very usefull ! Sorry, my E is not good.

Expect some guides from you !

Have any ideas !

Oh, sorry. My purpose is setup the "idle time" for clients.
Description:
If client A login successful, and if he do nothing (about 10 minutes) - he doesn't call any methods on my beans - he will logout automatically!
Have some ideas about my problem.
Thanks.

As far as i know, there's no timeout value that you can specify. However, you can implement your own custom logic for this. May be on the following lines:

- Whenever a bean method is called, save the current time (maybe) to a table in database.
- Have a timer/scheduled task which regularly checks for the table to see how long the user has been inactive (comparing it against the timeout value).
- If you find that there was no activity then call the logout method on the LoginContext as follows:

LoginContext lc = new LoginContext("client");
lc.logout();

Note, that this is just one of the possible approaches i can think of. There might be better options too, depending on the specifics of your application.
