Store the data in a database on session timeout; restore it when the user
comes back (requires a login or a persistent cookie).

Subject: What happens when our session expires?


Hi there, you probably have heard this question a million times before, but
I couldn't really find anything in the archive which answered it.  So here
it goes:

We have an application for which we would like to use struts.  This
aplication allows users to enter performance evaluation information on
employees in the firm.

I would like to know this:  The user starts a performance evaluation, and
half way through decides to go grab a bite to eat, comes back and finshes
the evaluation, when he/she hits the "save evaluation button" their session
is going to be kaput.  Let's assume that the evaluation is a wizard type
application and relied heavily on an ActionForm class to store the
information entered on each page.

How do you overcome this problem?  Make sure to store all their previously
entered performance evaluation data in a hidden field on the client side?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
