[mapguide-users] Mapguide session timeout in Openlayers

[Klaus Pedersen]

I have created a small .Net webapplication that creates a Mapguide 2.2
session and I use the SessionID to create a map with Openlayers 2.13.1
client side. I have tiled the outmost layers and the map performs okay
except for one thing: when the mapguide session is timing out the user get
a pink map and he/she have to reload the whole page to get a new session.
My mapguide server has the connection timeout set to 180 seconds in the
serverconfig.ini and I do not want to change that setting because I have
other maps running on the same MapGuide server.



I have tried to call a map.GetScale() with the setInterval function from
javascript to avoid the session from timing out but with no luck. If the
user search for an address on the page I can check serverside that the
session is valid and if not I create a new session. There is another
problem that needs to be handled if the user leaves the map for 180 seconds
and then comes back and either pan’s or zoom’s in the map then he/she get
the pink map. I would like to renew the session from openlayers and the
second best solution would be to inform the user to reload the page because
the session has timed out. Does any one have a good solution to that
problem?

I have pasted in the javascript code maybe I’m doing something wrong.



var map, layer, selectControl;

var url = MAPAGENTFULLURL;



var metersPerUnit = 111319.4908;  //value returned from mapguide

var inPerUnit = OpenLayers.INCHES_PER_UNIT.m * metersPerUnit;

OpenLayers.INCHES_PER_UNIT["dd"] = inPerUnit;

OpenLayers.INCHES_PER_UNIT["degrees"] = inPerUnit;

OpenLayers.DOTS_PER_INCH = 96;



// Read a page's GET URL variables and return them as an associative array.

function getUrlVars() {

    var vars = [], hash;

    var hashes =
window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') +
1).split('&');

    for (var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++) {

        hash = hashes[i].split('=');

        vars.push(hash[0]);

        vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];

    }

    return vars;
