I guess I'm confused as to how the code on the client side would know the session is about to expire without doing a ppr?

Scott,
The poll component will not work because I don't want to invoke a PPR b/c it will refresh the session. What I need is a hook into the Trinidad JavaScript API like an "onPPR()" method that I can override to be notified when a PPR request is made. The purpose of the dialog is to tell the user if they are still in front of the screen that their session is about to expire and give them the opportunity to refresh the session rather than have them do something with the UI and then get redirected to a page that tells them that their session timed out. Thanks, -Richard

    Will the "poll" component in Trinidad do what your asking?

        Hi,
        I am currently using a servlet filter to handle session
        timeouts to redirect the request to a session expired page.
        This is working okay except for if the user clicks on the
        chooseDate calendar icon after the session times out. With
        ENABLE_LIGHTWEIGHT_DIALOGS="false" (due to the month name
        problem in IE6 (Trinidad-941)), the session expired page
        appears in the calendar window instead of the main window.
        Once approach to handling this case as well as providing the
        user a warning before the session is going to timeout is to
        display a dialog to the user prior to the session timeout that
        says something like, "Your session is about to timeout" with a
        Continue button. After a minute or two, the dialog would
        automatically be cleared and an AJAX call would be made to the
        server to force the session expiration. To do this, I would
        have to have a JavaScript timer that would be started when the
        page is loaded, reset whenever a PPR call is made, and cleared
        whenever the page is unloaded. Has anyone implemented this
        with Trinidad? Is there a way to get notified via a callback
        or hook method when a PPR request is made by the Trinidad
        JavaScript API? Correctime if I'm wrong, but I don't think I
        can use the Trinidad dialog framework for this because it must
        be implemented for every page in the application.

        Thanks,

        Richard
