I am looking to find the best way to detect inactivity in a GWT application. In a traditional web application this would be done through a session timeout, however in a GWT app it is different because:
1. It is quite possible that at one point in time the client has got enough data from the server to allow the user to keep interacting with the system without the need for another server rpc call for a while which could be long enough to cause a session timeout on the server which is undesirable. 2. One possibility is to keep polling the server periodically. However in my case I am already polling the server periodically to get notifications and updates etc. So it is possible that the user would leave his desk and because the polling is alive, the server session never times out. I therefore need a way to detect the inactivity on the client. What is the best way to achieve this? Is using DOM event listeners a good idea ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
