Use the "setInactiveTimeoutPeriod" method on Application and then re implement "inactiveTimeout" method (see documentation EncycloSys.pdf) on both these methods.

Unfortunately this appears to be a new feature in JADE 6.
Is anyone aware of a similar facility within 5.2?

I imagine this facility was added in 6.0 as a result of NFS request #22164.

For 5.2, you probably need to implement your own "timeout" facility by monitoring form/control activity in your application. Unfortunately this means you'll need to implement a lot of events, such as mouse and/or keyPress/change events to keep resetting your timeout. This will in turn have a negative impact on your thin client performance as you will now have more events requiring round trips to your AppServer.

How far off upgrading to 6.0 are you? It may not be worth the time/effort required to implement this if you will soon be upgrading to 6.0 and the client can live without the timeout facility in the interim?
