Extend Portal session

[Anamica Liferay, geändert vor 1 Jahr.]

Hi

We have Flex portlets in liferay. These flex portlets communicate with DB n stuff...

My issue is this..

Even if we keep working in the portlet the session expires. I get the message saying the session is about the expire in sometime and session expires..

So we tried to call a servlet to get the logged-in user id to make sure we access liferays session.. Still no change..

I need to keep liferay session active while working in my flex portlet.. Since the user is active in the screen.. There it makes no sense expiring session.. right???

Can nebody help me?

Thanks in advance.
Lilford

The above URL was very helpful... Thanks a bunch.. Here is the code I used in JSP to extend the session..

function extendSession(){
try { if ('noWarning' == mySessionRenewAtWarning()) { mySessionRenew(); } } catch(e) {} 
}

//Closes the warning by invoking the click event of extend button...

function mySessionRenewAtWarning(){
    var jqryWarn = new jQuery;
    var warnElm = jqryWarn.find('.popup-alert-notice');
    if (warnElm.length > 0) {
        // Match content of warning with session expiration warning language
        if (Liferay.Language.get('warning-your-session-will-expire').indexOf(warnElm[0].firstChild.nodeValue) == 0) {
            // click the extend button
            warnElm.find('.popup-alert-close').click();
            return true;
        }
    }
    return "noWarning";
}

// Extends the session and resets the client timer
function mySessionRenew() {
    if (Liferay.Session._stateCheck) {
        window.clearTimeout(Liferay.Session._stateCheck);
        Liferay.Session._stateCheck = null;
    }
    Liferay.Session.extend();
}

However I have another issue now.. I get an alert without any message.. I just have a close and the red alert icon.. Clicking on close does nothing.. The alert keeps coming..
This appears only in one screen!!!!

Got that working too guys..

Had to set autoExtend true

Liferay.Session.autoExtent = true;

before calling

Liferay.Session.extend();

Thanks again for the help..

Seriously? You see the dates on this thread are 5 years old?

Cross posting to all threads related to liferay session extension is not going to answer your question any sooner...

Hi David,

I read your post on another thread on liferay session expiry
https://www.liferay.com/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/47381705

I have used the Liferay.Session.extend() in the script for the session extension. My question is after adding this, even after 30 mins of idle time, no session expiry message displayed in the portlet. Is this the right behaviour?

Hey,

I am facing the same problem, but I am not sure where to write that code.

I have one java script file in which I have written the code to extend the Liferay Session but in which Flex file I have to write a code to call that java script function?

Can you please give me file structure and in which Flex file I have to write? Is there any event interceptor or any other mechanism?

Thank you in advance.

Hello
I have similar problem but for AJAX portlet, here I described how I solved it.
Maybe it can guide you in right direction.

for portal-ext.properties:

    #
    # Set the auto-extend mode to true to avoid having to ask the user whether
    # to extend the session or not. Instead it will be automatically extended.
    # The purpose of this mode is to keep the session open as long as the user
    # browser is open and with a portal page loaded. It is recommended to use
    # this setting along with a smaller "session.timeout", such as 5 minutes for
    # better performance.
    #
    session.timeout.auto.extend=false

Solutions probably differ from the previous thread because this is an old thread. Another reason not to replies to old threads because solutions may changes between versions.

[Olaf Kock, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

correct in general. However, this option is old, probably also applies to the first problem (I just browsed through that quickly). All in all the questions sounded very similar and I don't want someone to modify code if there's a simple solution like this.

Sorry, my comment was more directed to Paul. I thought you were just replying to his post.
