This redirection works only when user submits a form (when server is hit). We cannot do automatic redirection using only Java.
Other alternatives are: 1. Use Javascript and have a timer (set value as request.getSession().getMaxInactiveInterval()) to redirect the page automatically. 2. Use browser's META as below <META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="<%= request.getSession().getMaxInactiveInterval() %>; URL=/jsp/login.jsp;"> -Sri At 12:54 PM 8/29/2002, Mike Jackson wrote: >That works, but I'd use a servlet to manage all page accesses and a >request dispatcher so that the user's machine doesn't know that it's >been redirected. > >--mikej >-=----- >mike jackson >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Dan Lipofsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 9:48 AM > > To: Tomcat Users List > > Subject: Re: Log out Screen > > > > > > Set the timeout in web.xml inside the <web-app> tags like this > > <session-config> > > <session-timeout> > > 720 <!-- 720 minutes = 12 hrs --> > > </session-timeout> > > </session-config> > > > > To check for the timeout, store something in the session > > when they log in, like this > > session.putValue(StringConstants.USER_DATA,userInfo); > > and then check it on each page like this > > if (session.getValue(StringConstants.USER_DATA) == null) { > > // redirect > > } > > > > - Dan > > > > > Where is the session time out set? and how do I redirect it to a > > > logout page once the session times out? > > > > > > > > -- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: ><mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >For additional commands, e-mail: ><mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > >-- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
