In my app a logged in user will access a page.  But then all of the
interaction on the page is done back and forth with ajax calls to the
server.  The ajax activities within the page could last well over the 30
minute session timeout. Even though the user has been actively working
for 30-45 minutes with lots of server calls, all of a sudden they aren't
logged in any more.  The ajax calls are definitely successfully
accessing the session since the ajax APIs utilize the logged on user,
roles, etc.  They just aren't pinging the keep-alive bit in the session
for some reason.  I'm not really sure what would be different in the
calls from a regular page call from the browser vs an ajax call.  They
both make a request that goes to a servlet or jsp and they both get
response data back from tomcat.  But the session times out if I don't do
a real page call.  What am I missing?

Nothing!
Any request that uses the HttpSession
(HttpServletRequest.getHttpSession(true)) will "touch" the session and
update its "lastUsed" time, so it should not time out during active usage
of the application.
There must be something else that invalidates the http session.


I really don't want to change the 'inactivity' timeout.  I just need to
figure out how to tell tomcat with all of the ajax calls that the
session is still very active.  Is there an easy solution?

Thx

Jerry

BTW... TC 8.5
