RE: Profiles, idle time and the web

Of course that killing of the session will cause an exception in the running forms programs! What do you think should happen? The form should proceed normally regardless of the fact that it has just been disconnected from the database? I don't think so. Remember, the whole session and with it the whole form context is gone. What should a decent the form do? Ignore such a minute annoyance? Send the user back to Kansas? Page the DBA?

I am maintaining a third party application system that is run thru the web via OAS 4.0.8.1 to D2K 1.6.1 server. I am trying to control user idle time. We set an idle time of 120 minutes in a profile on the database side. The only problem is it causes unhandled exceptions in the forms. I know I could control this in the form, but as I mentioned this is a third party product. There are 100s of forms and I do not want to modify all of the forms, let alone maintain them.

My question is, is there any other way to capture this idle timeout? Any suggestions?
