hi all,.

i think i saw this question here in this forum before, but i can't find it anymore ("thanks" to EMB...)

my main screen is a typical username/password login screen.
i know we can show an html page for an exception(like session timeout), but how can we show our main screen instead of a regular html, when the session ends please?


Thanks

the login screen is a static HTML file? If so, you can create another static HTML page to show something like: "Your session expired. Redirecting to the login page..." and use a JavaScript timer to redirect to the login page. Is this what you want?

thank you Alexandre

> As I understood, you want to go back to your main form (a real IW form) when the session terminates? The only way to execute/render a IWForm is inside a session context, meaning that, in order to do that, you MUST start a new session. I'm not sure if this is your intention.


yes, that is exactly what i mean (sorry for my english).

ok, so from you explanation of my question, i understand it's a bad idea to keep a session constantly opened...  :)
so we can send parameters from an html page to our IW server, like an html login page that (can?) sends user/pass to the application, right?
how can we do it please?

the thing is that i want the application to go to this login (html?) page once the session is over.
right now, if the user is trying to fill in a form after he left the computer for too long, an exception shows up (which is ok, but is also really annoying to see after filling a long form with data).

Thanks!

As I understood, you want to go back to your main form (a real IW form) when the session terminates? The only way to execute/render a IWForm is inside a session context, meaning that, in order to do that, you MUST start a new session. I'm not sure if this is your intention.

anybody have an idea for this please?
