You mean when a browser is just sitting idle and the session times out on the server, the browser is automatically redirected to the login page? If so, see JavaScript and timers (all JavaScript caveats apply). But Tomcat itself cannot reach out and trigger events at the client. Also, they will not be redirected to the login page if they are not already at a page that requires authentication. You can't directly redirect to the login page. So the JavaScript script would need to redirect to a protected page when the timer pops (could be the page they're on, could be something else). > I am working with tomcat 7.0.20 and JDBCRealm for authentication. > > Thanks in advance. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
