Hi there!

I have a commandButton with an action method that takes quite a long time to finish.

Therefore I use a4j:status to display a 'please wait' panel.

Problem is, after about an hour the panel disappears without the action method being finished.

Here's a code example:

jsf:

               <a4j:region>
                    <a4j:status id="wait_status"
                                onstart="Richfaces.showModalPanel('ajaxLoadingModalBox')"
                                onstop="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('ajaxLoadingModalBox')">

                    </a4j:status>

                    <rich:modalPanel id="ajaxLoadingModalBox">

                             <h:outputText value="please wait..."></h:outputText>
                     </rich:modalPanel>
                </a4j:region>

                <a4j:commandButton value="Go" action="${SomeBean.doNothing}" status="wait_status"/>

SomeBean.java:

               public void doNothing() throws Exception{

                    Thread.sleep(10800000);

               }

Tested with both Firefox and IE using Richfaces 3.3.3 final.

Thanks for helping!
