a4j:push TopicsContext question

[iabughosh]

Dears,

i want to ask about this known limitation of a4j:push, is there any plan to support TopicContext/CDI outside FacesContext scope like @WebListener ??

Thanks in advace.

Hi Ibrahim,

we don't plan to support TopicsContext outside of FacesContext, since PushContext is tied with FacesContext closely.

You can use JMS integration to overcome this limitation.

Thinking about @WebListener is interesting, could you please clarify how would like to use that?

i was thinking if i could use a4j:push to notify a user if his session timed out and forward him to the log in page.

Problem there is that a4j:push should keep user session open (AFAIK).

Thats right, the http long polling requests issue u clarified to me, can we bind these requests (a4j:push requests) to a separate session ?, i know it is some kind of fancy feature but is it doable ?.
