Re: [Trinidad] Session is about to expire dialog

[Max Starets]

Richard, I guess you want your _javascript_ to be notified when a PPR request is being sent, right? There is a way to do it, but the supporting code is not part of the public API: TrPage.getInstance().getRequestQueue().addStateChangeListener(instance, callback); Here "instance" is an instance of the object used to invoke the listener (it may be null if your listener is global), "callback" is the actual listener function. A single parameter (state) will be passed into your callback: state == TrRequestQueue.STATE_BUSY would indicate that PPR request is about to be sent state == TrRequestQueue.STATE_READY would indicate that PPR request has just returned. As I said before, this code is not part of Trinidad public API, so there are no guarantees that it will continue working in the future. If it is something that you think is generally useful for developers using Trinidad, you can raise a JIRA issue for that.

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   On 3/24/08, Scott O'Bryan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Will the "poll" component in Trinidad do what your asking?

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
