Session Timed out message in login.jsp

[sandeeprao]

Hello.

I have a requirement to alert the user when the session is timed out, at the login page.

Is there any method by which I can determine this from login.jsp.
Or should it be implemented using filters to forward the user to a different page?

I solved this with a workaround.
I created a Resource URL that returns request.getPortletSession().isNew().
Then I requested this url from the login page by AJAX.
If the result is false the login page shows a message saying "session timeout". Further, you could forward the user to another screen using javascript if required.

Not a fool proof idea. But I guess it does the job.
