Session timeout alert.
Hello, does tapestry provide a mechanism which monitors the amount of time
left with a user session before timeout? Similar to a an online banking
site, we need to alert the user when their session is about to expire and
give them the option to renew the time or auto log them out. If it doesn't
exist, I'm sure I could build the component, however I'm just not sure how
to get the users remaining session time to trigger the alert.

Thanks guys, I'll take a look at your suggested solutions. I happened to find
this jQuery plugin during my google searches that might integrate nicely
with this task.

In addition to the post before:
Write a class which implemets javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener with
something like this:
> @Override
> public void sessionCreated(final HttpSessionEvent se) {
> se.getSession().setMaxInactiveInterval(sessionTimeoutSeconds);
> }
>
A search in this forum returns much hits.

The "remaining" time is something of a red herring: every client-to-server
interaction resets the countdown, so from the perspective of the server
processing a request, the remaining time will always be the full session
timeout value. (I'm not sure how you pick this up from the container, but
no doubt a google search will tell you that.)
If you have AJAX components, this time will be somewhat pessimistic because
AJAX requests will also reset the countdown. You might ignore this if you
don't have a lot of AJAX; to intercept these might require some ugly monkey
patching.
