Timeout while using the Flex client

[twagoo]

From a user reports it seems that, while logged in through the Flex web frontend, his session for the component registry times out. This should be prevented by the frequent 'ping' that the client sends to the server. Possibly this does not function while editing or when the application is not focused (e.g. screen saver).

An alternative explanation is that the SP or IdP triggers a timeout of the session after a fixed login time, but that's not very likely. Need to investigate.

I get an error message when browsing the component registry saying "Internal Server error cannot process the data, try reloading the application."

What I did was create a new profile based on an existing one, same for a component, and then leave for coffee. When I get back i'm logged out, and upon logging in again I can't find my new profile nor new component -- I reckon I didn't yet save them. So far so good, but then when I try to do it again, the error appears.

Just tested by logging in from another browser + another computer; same message.

I could not find anything in the logs but my guess is that your session
had timed out. This should not happen, so you can consider this a bug in
the application. Refreshing the *entire* web page should update the
state of the web interface and give you the opportunity to log back in.

Have not heard any similar reports since this ticket was created. Most likely cause is the application going into sleep mode, which cannot be prevented anyway.
