Java EE SDK :: Can Use Filter For Maintaining Session Timeout Related Functionality
Dec 14, 2011
I want to implement session timeout functionality ...so with web.xml file i can specify session timeout ..say 30 min.. Now with filter is it possible for me to redirect the request to login page after session is timeout say after 30 min... What are the other ways...??
Also i want to know whether timeout setting in web.xml will overweight the application server timeout ... I am using struts 1.0 and hibernate...
Coding a web application using Java 6. Try to implement the session timeout for users.
In the web.xml, I added:
<session-config> <session-timeout>480</session-timeout> <!-- jsp will expire in 8 hours --> </session-config>
Now, during the runtime, if a user does not touch the jsp page for 8 hours (after the user has signed in), the session timeout mechanism will kick in. At that point, the server side will automatically execute:
rd = req.getRequestDispatcher("/signin.jsp");
So that the user will have to re-sign in, before continue the work.
I have set the session timeout in web.xml to 60 but when I start on the home page and begin to enter any data I immediately get redirected to the timeout page.From the timeout page I can click a link that takes me to the home page. Now I get the 60 minutes before another timeout occurs. Changing the timeout only results in a change to the timeout after going back to the home page..why I am seeing an immediate timeout?
My application uses Struts and IBM Web application Server. I have a question regarding session management. I have a variable stored in session scope, i.e. the name of the client. it is a intranet application. Now whenever the user leaves the browser screen for a long time, the session times out and losses the name of the client.
How to restore the variable after the client comes back and starts using the browser and refreshes the screen and starts using the application. I want just the browser to remember the session variable i.e. "name" of the client.
in my web.xml my session time out is working but not fully working in my ui i use tiles , i have 5 clickable side panels i try to set timeout for 1 minute or 10 minutes for testing after the time is timeout this what happen working refresh the page after time out = working ,directed me into log in page which is correct.i have 5 clickable side panel in my page after timeout when i click the first 2 in side panel tabs it directed me into log in page which is also correct not working after the timeout when i navigate the page i click the other 3 side panels i can still navigate into the page but when i click the first 2 side panel it directed to log in page w/c is correct but can still navigate the page the other 3 side panels
issue : my session timeout is not fully working on my page.
I am new to JSF and I am working on handling session timeout for a JSF application. I am trying to get the code to work for ajax calls and not able to achieve that so far. I have tried two approaches:
Approach 1: SessionListener (for cleanup work) and SessionFilter (for filtering every request and checking if session timed out)
My Code snippet of doFilter() of SessionFilter:
if ((request instanceof HttpServletRequest) && (response instanceof HttpServletResponse)) { HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest = (HttpServletRequest) request; HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse = (HttpServletResponse) response; // is session expire control required for this request? (not required for home page or timeout page or JSF resources) if (isSessionControlRequired(httpServletRequest)) {
[Code] .....
Both these approaches work for non-ajax POST calls but not for ajax calls. When I run my app in debug mode, I can step through all the statements for ajax calls also, which gives me an idea that the control does come to my code, executes it but for some reason, nothing happens on the UI.
I have been trying to redirect user to a timeout page but the ideal thing would be to display a JSF dialog and upon hitting 'OK' take user to Home Screen (My app does not have a login screen.) I have a basic questions also, is view expiring exactly same as session timeout?
Generally sessions in web applications expire after a stipulated max inactive interval. To my knowledge primarily the reason is if the session objects are not invalidated they keep exhausting the memory. So my question is
A. Is there any other reason other why web applications timeout the user session after an inactive interval?
B. Social sites never timeout the user session even if you just leave them for the entire day. How do they manage sessions? Don't the active sessions exhaust memory on their servers or JVM to be specific?
I'm trying to turn into an android app, but I have limited Java knowledge.It's not a super complex app so I figured I could figure it out on the fly with some tutorials and such. But I need to emulate this curl connection and I'm not sure how in Java.
I was trying to come up with the design for a library. Here are the requirements:
The library maintains a record of books and its members. It allows members to check out books. Books can be searched by author name or title. The books are classified into 4 categories - General, Sports, Politics, Business.
I've come up with this initial design:
Classes:
Category (enum)BookMemberLibrary Category Attributes: SPORTS, GENERAL, POLITICS, BUSINESS Book Attributes: String title, String authorName, Category category, boolean checkedOut
May be I did not understand the meaning and usage of attribute "session" in page directive. My understanding is if session=false, in page directive, then the JSP page will not participate in the session. However, I have my welcomepage as below:
Can I access the session object even session has been expired? I need to check whether session is expired or not for each request.The session invalidation is set null the session object. What I concluded, session time out I can access session object but session invalidation I can not access session object. How can I find the session time out by using session object?
1) From War A, I login to the application and then fetch some users that is a rest call. I get the response back from rest in json form that ui consumes and display the data on page.
2) Now I click on the logout link from ui jsp. This logs out the session from Ui. I use <form data-dojo-type="dijit/form/Form" based logout.
3) I then go to the proxy (using burp) and manually request the rest call which I made in step no 1), the rest gives the response back with the same json object returned in step no 1) This shows that the logout action on step 2) is invalidated the session from War A (ui war) but the session or cookie based from WAR B (rest war) is not invalidated.
Expected outcome:After I Logout from War A(ui war), the session must also get invalidated from war B (rest war) and manually request from proxy should not get the same response object as received in step 1)
I am developing a e-commerce college project, here i add the items in the cart(a div tag in the jsp page) via servlet by creating sessions,
flow control: shopping jsp (when user wants to add an item in the cart) --> item servlet (which is used to create session and synchronized it) --> cart servlet(which is used to add items in the arraylist and show them in the shopping.jsp's div tag + it also sets the total purchase amount in the session variable "totalpurchase")
now after that user wants to proceed to checkout, here i use the onclick event to check the minimumshopping amount must be less than the totalpurchase (totalpurchase which i had setted in the session),but my jsp page is unable to rechognise the updated value of the totalpurchase, yes, if i reload the page, it rechognises the new updated value of the totalpurchase? but i want it to rechognise the updated total purchase value, without reloading he jsp page..
I have a form containing several fields, 2 of which persist to different table in a database than the rest of the fields on the form. I have no problem persisting the data into both tables of the database, and after the form is submitted I reset the form to its default values. That all works fine.
But in the same session, when I open another form (a search form) and enter search criteria, which then displays a datatable containing the search results, those 2 values that are persisted to another table are not showing up, but the rest of the data is.
Here is the method that calls the persist methods:
@ManagedBean(name = "foreignPartyController") @SessionScoped public class ForeignPartyController implements Serializable { ... public void saveData() {
[Code].....
The values do show up, but the problem is, when a subsequent form is opened in the same session (e.g. a search form) the field for that value shows the actual value, instead of the field being blank.'
I am not sure why the data from the one database ("parent") is showing up, yet the data from the other database ("child") is not.
Is it something I am doing wrong? I thought by setting the setter in the child controller class back to a new instance of the Entity class (PolicyPayment) that it would reset the form to default values, but at the same time retain (or save) the inputted values in the same session.
How could I store the currency and amount in an array? A 2x2 array would do this but how to store them and retrieve them is the challenge. For example, I have a method that asks the user for two inputs, the currency and the amount and using the array as a chat table where I could map the currency to the the currency input entered by the user, I could do some calculations with the amount entered by the user. how I could represent the 2x2 array?
I want to create a program which contains a list with 5 items and a button on the first display. The desired option is chosen from from the list and the button is pressed. On pressing the button it must open a new form which corresponds to the chosen item from the list.
How to make my program look nice. I have to create a mortgage calculator with no functionality, so it basically just has to be a window that looks like this:
Here's my code:
import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; public class MortgageCalculator { public static void main(String[]args) { CalcWindow calculator = new CalcWindow();
[Code] .....
Here is the output I am getting:
How do I make my program output look similar to the 1st picture?
I am unable to understand the use of String intern. Why not use Code 1 as given below instead of using intern as in Code 2? Both perform the same functionality.
