Prevent Session Timeout

Hi
 
Due to some rather important databases, our server has a session timeout of around 10 minutes.
 
However, I have another less important system which I would like users to remain logged into until they close the web browser.
 
I have tried the timeout settings on the XPage properties but it seems this does not over-ride the server setting.
 
Does anyone know of a way of doing this?  Perhaps an automatic page refresh after 9 minutes? 
 
Thanks

Re: Prevent Session Timeout
 Have you tried "pinging" the serve thru an AJAX request?
 
You can use the JavaScript function setTimeout for this purpose. 
 
 
Using AJAX this would be transparent to the user. Haven't tried if this refreshes the session with the server, but it should. 
 
Don't forget to add a URL-parameter that changes with each request, to prevent caching of the AJAX request.
