Submit a form automatically after N seconds

[Edgar Merino <do...@gmail.com>]

Hello, I've been trying to add this functionality to a component, after 
(say) 120 seconds I want to submit the form automatically (via ajax) in 
order to create a backup of the information hold at that time by the 
component. I've been looking at ajaxformsubmitbehavior but I don't see 
how to make this work with what I need. I think an 
abstractajaxtimerbehavior is what I need here but I need to know how to 
submit the form in the onTimer method.

Thanks in advance.

I have not tried this, and there are probably better ways, but you might be
able to:

- create a subclass of AbstractAjaxTimerBehavior
- override getCallbackScript and return the code that is generated by
AjaxFormSubmitBehavior#getEventHandler

This would involve copy-and-paste of some code out of
AjaxFormSubmitBehavior, but I'm not sure that's a big deal.
