javascript - Session timeout response in AJAX - Stack Overflow

In my application, I'm loading some table using AJAX. But when user's session times out it gives me login page as response that gets loaded in table area.

I would like to redirect to login page may be in javascript when session timeout occurs during AJAX call.

• I am too late to think a question like this and found yours. in any page load (server side) i check for user existence. if they are not logged in then i will just die a string which will contain ajaxtimeout. Most of my own libraries check for responsetext.indexof('ajaxtimeout') and in this case i will window.location = login page. – Jayapal Chandran Commented Oct 15, 2010 at 6:44

When rendering the login page you could append a custom HTTP header to the response: X-LOGIN-PAGE: True. Then perform your AJAX call and check for the presence of this custom header in the success callback. Act accordingly if present.

You can check for the authentication in the method being called by the AJAX call and if not found can just return a flag. In the AJAX handler in the client page, you can detect and redirect to the login page.
