psdi.webclient.servlet

Class SessionServlet

java.lang.Object

javax.servlet.GenericServlet

javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

psdi.webclient.servlet.SessionServlet

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig

public class SessionServlet
extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Responds to a ping that comes from browser through XMLHttpRequest to reset the web server session timeout. The response is used by javascript in the browser to sync itself to the session timeout again.

This is useful in maintaining session active between the time user is inactive and the time he comes back and uses the application without making the request through hiddenframe (which was the only element that used to reset the session timeout until this class's need).
