idleMonitor: Session timeout handling

[markusg80]

I have a idleMonitor to observe inactivity by the user and autologout after when idle event is fired. Now the Problem is when the user is not active and after a while he moves the mouse it reset the time of the idleMonitor but not on the Server side. The Server side timeout is only reseted if a request occours. Now how can i get an event when the idleMonitor timer is reset? Then i can make a request so the idleMonitor timer and Server Session Timeout timer are equal.

p:ajax event=active

This event is only fired when first idle event was fired! But in my case idle event is never fired because the user is mouving the mouse with out sending request

No idea then. feel free to provide a pull request, so i can check your idea, how we can improve the component.

Maybe using poll https://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/ajax/poll.xhtml ?

@tandraschko My idea to improve the Component is to add a reset ajax event. So every time the user is not active, the time begin to run until reaching the timeout value. When the user again comes active, before reaching the timeout value, with for example mouse moving, the internal timer of the idlemonitor gets reseted, like it already is but in addition it fires a reset ajax event. With this event i can call a keepalive funtion on server side to ensure the timeout of the server is equal to that of the idleMonitor

But if the user keeps moving the mouse without actually interacting with the server, the client and server timeout will still not be equal

No everytime the user moves the mouse the reset event will be fired! But i see that this will fire a many reset event;-) maybe ot needed to make a attribute to delay start counting the inactive time
