Implement Session Timeout screen

Hi All,

I have a requirement where I have to show a seperate Timeout page to the user when the session times out. This page is not same as the login page. I have used a flag to determine if the user has logged out or the session timedout and it is working fine. But I cannot find a way to forward to the time out page. Can anyone help me on this?

So far I tried to use a subtype of HttpSessionListener and implemented the sessionDestroyed method. I know that I can get a request dispatcher from the SessionEvent but I cannot forward using the request dispatcher because forward need Request and Response as params. If I send null, I get a NullPointerException.

I know we can use javascript but that not an option for me.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Ornov

Sorry but i don't get the point.

-Do you want to forward the client to a special page (exactly) when is session is destroyed (if so, i thnik the only way is to use a javascript timer on the client side, to make a forward)

-Or do you want a separate login page for users whose session expired, not the newly loging users (if so, i don't see where the problem is, it's quit simple since you have the flag you spoke about)

I have login page and session timeout page when users log out by clicking a button they are forwarded to the login page - this is easy. But I need to forward the user to a timeout page if their session has timed out for example if the session was idle for 20 minutes. There should be a way to do this without using javascript

sorry, if there's no request from the client, there's no response from the server.there are many ways to achieve what you want, but only from the client side
