I have used the <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="300; URL=../action/Logout.do"/> tag in an application that is very information sensitive. The idea is that the sensitive information does not stay displayed unused for nothing. This was a user requirement. BTW, you don't need an iframe.
Also, you can never catch all instances where a logout will occur, such as logging off the machine... or just pressing the power button. - Glenn Leon Rosenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 31/08/2005 08:17 AM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" <user@struts.apache.org> To Struts Users Mailing List <user@struts.apache.org> cc Subject Re: logout problem On Wed, 2005-08-31 at 12:46 +0100, Adam Hardy wrote: > Emmanouil Batsis on 31/08/05 12:37, wrote: > > Sławek Tuleja wrote: > >> question: but how to evoke Logoff action when user closes browser? > > > > In general you dont :-) You just wait for the session to expire using > > a session event listener.
