Session TimeOut for clients.

[jimc]

Forgive me if this is somehow already possible, but i have a company who want their clients kicked out of the solution after they have been idle for 15 min.
Any information appreciated.

Not directly supported by Servoy, but currently you could make something similar yourselfs with scheduler plugin and updating a global with latest time in a frequent action(s)

How can I configure the timeout for sessions used by WebClients?

It is possible to manually change the quantity of minutes before an idle Web user will be disconnected?

If so, is it possible to set this Web session timeout on a per file basis? I mean a Servoy solution with lets say, a timeout of 10 minutes and another solution which is hosted on the same server with a timeout of 120 minutes.


Edit: By the way, I don't have server yet. I'm using Developer... But my questions are the same.

Many thanks in advance !

you can find this setting in:
your-servoy-install-dir/server/conf/web.xml

Code: Select all

<!-- Default Session Configuration ================= -->
<!-- You can set the default session timeout (in minutes) for all newly   -->
<!-- created sessions by modifying the value below.                       -->

<session-config>
    <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>

The sessions are real web sessions as found in all major webservers and are all configured the same via this setting.
If you close a webclient with application.exit() the webserver session also is cleared.

Thank you very much Jan for this quick and effective answer.

I understand this is a server setup so every hosted solutions will have the same timeout value. Do you think it will be possible in an upcoming version of Servoy to have a different timeout for different hosted solutions ?

I'm new in the Servoy's world so please, excuse me if this question has already been asked... It is a good idea to run many instance of Servoy on a single computer?

I'm evaluating right now and if this is not a problem, maybe I can setup a first instance on port 8080 with a small timeout and have the other instance of Servoy hosting on port 8081 with a longer timeout. Is is a good idea??

Not in the near future.

Well it's possible, but datanotifies only works per instance of a Servoy server

It's might possible this way, not sure if this is a good idea.
