I'm looking for a way to detect that the current session has expired (or logged out via another tab on the browser). I know I could just issue dummy requests to the server and see if a login page comes back. But issuing requests automatically resets the session timer. I need a benign way to query that doesn't keep the session alive forever.

I'm sure this problem has been solved before. But basically, I want to know that the session is no longer valid and force the user back to the login page. I know one possibility is to set the Tomcat timer to 30 min expiration, and then keep a '29 minute' timer running in the browser. But my clients can change the tomcat session timer length. And also this doesn't account for a logoff using the same session on a different browser tab. I'd really like a pro-active query method if anything like that exists.

Suggestion?

Thanks.

Jerry
