But then again, when they are editing a form, this might take some time, and the responsibility of keeping this form window open/uncommitted is completely on their side. So if they are off to McDonalds during editing, it's their own decision to leave that window open. this I don't understand coz you started this discussion with the fact that you want your continuations to stay alive long enough but you don't want to increase your session timeout?? the continuation might survive the container session but in my opinion this will be a confusing situation for the end user I want my session to be eg only a half hour. So when users are just browsing (not editing a form) and leave their pc for more than 30 minutes, they need to log in again. Besides this, when they are editing a form, this might take a while, so when the form is presented, I want the continuation to be extended as long as the form is on the users screen/browser. This actually implies that the session will be extended also. When the users stares at the form for a few hours, an iframe will periodically contact the server, which automatically extends the session time, and the continuation related with the form is accessed so that it's time is extended too.
