That shouldn't happen.  The expected behavior is to get a blank login
form.  We have custom config to intercept the Spring Webflow
exceptions that occur on an expired session.  What CAS version?

Yes.  Set the session timeout in the web.xml to whatever value you
like.  It's 5m by default since we only need to hold session data for
a short period to get the user's credentials and authenticate them.

We may really need to investigate a more robust solution for graceful
session timeouts -- this issue comes up fairly often.  I will say some
folks have implemented javascript pings to keep the session alive, but
my reaction to that is a hearty "yuck."
