Hi,
Just to mention that the JavaScript in XTile was originally used precisely for this purpose -- keeping the session alive in some pages.
I was planning to put up a special Timeout component using XTile that produces alert messages a certain amount of time before the session expires. The alerts allow you to continue the session in the background if you are doing some work such filling in a form, or the session will silenly expire if you are not around. I hope I will manage to get around that in the next few days...

How about using Mindbridge's new XTile component. Whenever a user moves to a new input field on the page, call the XTile listener in your server. This will automatically reset the session timeout. Or you could do when the user moves to a new question. This Ajax stuff is very clever, isn't it!
Ciao,

Have you looked at the method HttpSession.setMaxInactiveInterval ?
If I remember correctly, the method HttpSession.setMaxInactiveInterval(int
interval) overrides the session timeout set in
web.xml.
If you can distinquish whether the request is for a quiz or form, you could set the session time out accordingly.

Is there any way to keep a session alive while users---------------------------------------------------------------------
fill out a form that could take a long time? I have the session set
to expire after 10 minutes, but my students could be doing an online
quiz that takes longer. Is there an easy way to re-activate the
session or something after students submit their quiz?
Thanks, Todd
