Hi Derek,

I assume you're using the session-fw.

The session timeout is set in your servlet engine's
web.xml file.  For Tomcat it is conf/web.xml:

As soon as the session expires, your protected
resources will require authenitcation prior to
accessing.  In your handler you specify a "redirect-to
uri", usually it is your login page:

I believe the answer is the same as #2.

Session ended - avoiding error pages?

2003-05-29 Thread Derek Hohls
Hi

Users need to logon to gain access to the 'protected area' 
of the site - however, it appears that after a certain time
the session expires, and the access "rights" are revoked; 
after that any attempt to access any link in the protected 
sections results in a Cocoon error.

Three questions:

1.  How and whewre is the length of session set?

2. Is there any way of triggering, say, the display of a 
default (probably site index) page as soon as the session
ends?

3.  If a default (probably site index) page cannot be
triggered automatically, how do I display such a page as
soon as a user attempts to access any link from inside the
protected section AFTER the session expires?

Thanks.
