How to extend a user session time programmatically?

Question

Dear Ivy support,

Using Ivy 6.2 we set the User session time-out value in the web.xml. Is there a way to extend the session validity programmatically without any User action?

In a JSF context, would this method have any effect on the Ivy Session ? javax.faces.context.ExternalContext.setSessionMaxInactiveInterval(int interval) Specifies the time, in seconds, between client requests before the servlet container will invalidate this session.

Thanks in advance Emmanuel

Hi @Emmanuel

Ivy sessions are mapped to the http sessions. If the webserver (tomcat) destroys a http session, the ivy session will be also destroyed.

The only way to modify programmitcly the session timeout seems to be the following way: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2960764/how-to-set-session-timeout-dynamically-in-java-web-applications Create your own HttpSessionListener and register this one in the web.xml. But this is probably not what you want.

In a JSF environment you should have another opportunity, as you mentioned:

javax.faces.context.ExternalContext.setSessionMaxInactiveInterval(int interval)

And as the documentation says: Servlet: This must call setMaxInactiveInterval on the underlying javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest instance.. The jsf context implementation will modify the session timeout on the http session.
