Adding custom timeout action

[seamdev]

I want to execute a method when user session has a timeout event. I am wondering whether there is a configuration that could be used to declare this method? Purpose of this method is to some additional processing than seam would do by default.

I noticed org.jboss.seam.core.Events.addListener(String type, String methodBindingExpression, Class... argTypes) method. This may he helpful in achieving what I want but I am not sure how to use it, e.g., what are the valid values for "type" parameter? Where in my code should I invoke this method?

I found a JIRA request for similar issue: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2257

When can we expect to see sessionExpired event added to seam? If its not too much work, it will be great to have it in seam 2.0.1GA

Assuming session contexts variables are removed when session expires
perhaps this could work:

@Observer("org.jboss.seam.preDestroy.<sessionScopedVariable>")
public void cleanup() {}

or org.jboss.seam.preDestroyContext.

what do you think?

That doesn't diffentiate between the session being expired, and the session being destroyed.

Probably won't make it into 2.0.1

Thanks. I got it working using HttpAttributeListener.
