Thanks Andre. I have already done so. I thought to ask it on both just in case.

I would imagine that Jersey provides a way to force the client to be authenticated. This would work via a session, and there is probably a way to set the session timeout. After the last interaction + the timeout, the session will expire, and this should automatically force the client to re-authenticate at the next access. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
