Thanks Axton. As you say it's getting very complicated. I am personal not 
really sympathetic to this request by our customer but have to explore it.

Subject: Re: Mid Tier Session Timeout

** I don't see how the mid-tier server could send a message to the browser to 
pop the alert.  With that said, an alternate approach is to have something on 
the browser side poll the server to check the state of the session.  Sadly, 
this will most likely keep the session alive.  I'm not seeing a good way to do 
this.  You could set up something outside the mid-tier that the browser could 
poll to check the status of the session.  This could work, but it's starting to 
get overly complicated.

You could do something simple like a JavaScript alert that fires on a timer 
where the timer coincides with the applicable session timeout (taking into 
account anything that expires the session, such as a load balancer, sso 
solution, midtier, j2ee container, etc.).  Implementing this would entail 
inserting some JavaScript into all the forms.  The mid-tier does not use a 
template engine that would make this kinds of change trivial.  What you have to 
do is either alter the stock JavaScript files to write the function to the 
pages.  Whether such a thing is possible or not I don't know as I haven't 
played with the stock JavaScript files in a while.

Hi All,

I have a request to notify users, that access the system via mid tier, as soon 
as their session expires instead of them invoking some kind of action. For 
example, user opens the incident form leaves their session idle for more than 
the allowed time. Instead of them coming back and maybe typing in fields and 
selecting a button \ link or workflow that must access the system and only then 
being presented with the timeout message, can it be "popped" to their session 
as soon as it becomes idle. We are not interested in any custom external app's 
etc, only what is potentially configurable in the OoTB system.

Regards,
Basil
