onExpired not getting called with form authentication

[jdsuboy]

I am using form authentication and when my session expires the A4J.AJAX.onExpired function is not getting called.

when the session expires and I attempt to do something in the browser, the login window will appear. After I login, I get the viewExpired page with the message "View state could't be restored - reload page ?" The onExpired function never gets called.

If I dont have authentication on, then the function gets called correctly.

What I would like to see happen with my authentication on is:
1) the onExpired function gets called and I redirect to login screen

Is there something on my end that I need to do with authentication on?

couple more points:

1) I have STATE_SAVING_METHOD set to server
2) I have handleViewExpiredOnClient set to true

Hello,

You can try configuring error page for ViewExpiredException that will redirect users to login screen.

thanks for the response!!

The problem is, with form authentication on, I never "catch" that exception with the A4J.AJAX.onExpired. Once the session expires and I perform an action, it immediately kicks me to the login screen. After I login, then I get the session expired error, but never catch it.

I added a phase listener, and in the above case, it doesn't even get to phase 1 before it kicks me to the login screen, so it is being intercepted by the server before it handles the phases.

Are you saying that I should catch it on the server side? If so, where would I do that???

Thanks!

I see. Setup error page for ViewExpiredException and remove onExpired function; you'll be directed there just after login if session expired.
