Catch a Session Timeout?

[Lars Netzel]

Hi

I want to alert the user via a javascript alert when the Session has time
out.

how do I do this?

best regards/

You can only guess without breaking the stateless model. In most
applications, the page is either redirected to a logout after a certain
amount of time (META tags), or a timer is placed in the app that fires a
message, or both. Without querying the server, you cannot determine if a
session has timed out.

I have previously used a session variable that stores unneeded data. At the
start of every page I query the session variable and if it's empty then I
assume the session has timed out and I alert the user with a JavaScript
alert
may not be the best way but it worked for me.
hope this helps

That's a pretty good solution but unfortunately that won't work for me fully
cause I aslo want to write to a logtable What User (stored in thesession)
has times out.

I was hoping there woudl be a some sort of event when the session times out
