We have a web application where users often take an extended period of time, due to research needs and info gathering, to populate a target document before saving to the server side. Often, the system timeout expires or local gremlins occur, etc.. We've discussed using notification pop-ups and a JavaScript timer to "advise" the users to save their work but what if the user has walked away from the desktop when the pop-up emerges? I'm wondering if there are viable strategies for auto-magically flushing in-process work to the server-side for caching within the ServletContext? What would be a viable key for storing the in-process work object in the SC?
Anybody got any primers on this topic?
