Is there a way to perform a "timeout" on an application in Java? I would like to log a user out if the application has not detected any traffic in (n) minutes.

If you're using sockets, you can put a timeout on the socket when it goes to read. Ouside of that, you can always use/create a timer object. What type of application do you have?

My app is an Application! It is accesed via the main method to an MDI style JFrame. Are you suggesting I could use the Timer object on the MDI Frame? Does this Frame detect activity being performed within one of its JInternalFrames? How could this work?
