Redirecting user when idle in JSF with PrimeFaces

I would like to send user to /login.xhtml if he/she is idle for a given period of time. I have tried PrimeFaces <p:idlemonitor> but can't figure out how to achieve this.

Solution

  • Use the IdleMonitor component <p:idleMonitor> 

    <p:idleMonitor timeout="3000">
    <p:ajax event="idle" listener="#{idleMonitorBean.processTimeOut()}"/>
</p:idleMonitor>

    Note: timeout in millseconds

    Then in your listener method just specify the redirect() path.

    @Model
public class IdleMonitorBean {

    public void processTimeOut() throws IOException {
        FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect(
                "/contextroot/index.xhtml");
    }
}
