Timeout Problem with Forms
Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer
Q:
AA wrote: I have an iChain accelerated application where the users fill out a form, and they could be in the form for hours. The iChain accelerator timeout (maximum idle time before requiring a new login) is set to 30 minutes. The problem is that even if the user is actively working on the form, iChain will time them out 30 minutes after authenticating to the application. I suspect this is due to the fact that while they are working on the form, there is no activity between the browser and the Web server. Is it possible to get around this?
A:
AA, you'll need to either add JavaScript that will send a message to the user after x minutes to verify the user needs more time and then notify the server to maintain the connection, or increase the Timeout to the maximum time it takes to fill in the form.
