Hi, Could you please tell me why the message “Page expired” appears in Web Client sometimes? What triggers the generating of this error? DB ---

This happens when your session times out, by default after 30 minutes without activity. You can change the duration in the file: servoy\application\_server\server\conf\web.xml Somewhere in that file you’ll see this: ```auto 30 ``` It is also possible to show something else when a timeout happens, using the following properties on the admin page: ```auto servoy.webclient.pageexpired.page servoy.webclient.pageexpired.url servoy.webclient.pageexpired.redirectTimeout ``` ---

this could also be a result of many (more then 5) (modal)windows open at the same time. So if you have such a setup please try to not show that many, we will up that 5 in the next release. ---

This “Page expired” html page indeed appears after pressing on a button from a modal (form in) dialog. But it is one, not even close to 5 or more. I am not sure I understand what you mean by “try to not show that many”, i always show one and the user closes it by pressing on x or on the ok button (which calls the application.closeFormInDialog method). Maybe I am missing something? Diana ---

if you have it just with 1 and then page expired if you press a button on that then it is something else. It could be that you open up more then 5 modal or none modal windows at the same time, that isnt suported by servoy webclient in 4.1.3 (or lower) we have upped that maxto about 15. ---

> if you have it just with 1 and then page expired if you press a button on that then it is something else. Thank you for your promptitude! I only have 1 modal dialog displayed at that time. After the press of the specific button on that dialog, 2 things happen: - application.closeFormDialog() - call of a method The Page expired html does not always appear. Sometimes it works fine all the way, I do not see a logic on the triggering of “Page expired”. Do you know what it could be? Diana ---

no, not directly do you have it when you open that same action more the 5 times? So that you did open up more then 5 dialogs? (but not at he same time?) Just try to pin point when it really goes wrong. ---

The number of the dialogs that can pop in the application depend on some things. For example if some fields are not filled, there is a dialog shown with text: “Please fill all required fields!”. It can appear as many times as the webuser forgets to fill in a field. But it happened to me that only 1 dialog was ever popped in the application (the one that generates the “Page expired” sometimes) and it generated “Page expired”. I am using Servoy 3.5.9. Diana ---

try to make a test case then where it happens most often.
