https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/2556/how-to-extend-a-user-session-time-programmatically<p>Dear Ivy support,</p> <p>Using Ivy 6.2 we set the User session time-out value in the web.xml. Is there a way to extend the session validity programmatically without any User action? </p> <p>In a JSF context, would this method have any effect on the Ivy Session ? javax.faces.context.ExternalContext.setSessionMaxInactiveInterval(int interval) <em>Specifies the time, in seconds, between client requests before the servlet container will invalidate this session.</em></p> <p>Thanks in advance Emmanuel</p>enMon, 03 Apr 2017 16:05:05 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/2556/how-to-extend-a-user-session-time-programmatically/2562<p>Hi <a href="http://answers.axonivy.com/users/28/emmanuel"><a href="http://answers.axonivy.com/users/28/emmanuel">@Emmanuel</a></a></p> <p>Ivy sessions are mapped to the http sessions. If the webserver (tomcat) destroys a http session, the ivy session will be also destroyed.</p> <p>The only way to modify programmitcly the session timeout seems to be the following way: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2960764/how-to-set-session-timeout-dynamically-in-java-web-applications">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2960764/how-to-set-session-timeout-dynamically-in-java-web-applications</a> Create your own <code>HttpSessionListener</code> and register this one in the web.xml. But this is probably not what you want.</p> <p>In a JSF environment you should have another opportunity, as you mentioned:</p> <pre><code>javax.faces.context.ExternalContext.setSessionMaxInactiveInterval(int interval) </code></pre> <p>And as the documentation says: <em>Servlet: This must call setMaxInactiveInterval on the underlying javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest instance.</em>. The jsf context implementation will modify the session timeout on the http session.</p>Alex SuterMon, 03 Apr 2017 16:05:05 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/2556/how-to-extend-a-user-session-time-programmatically/2562
