i have a page on my website where there's a parent central view page (
jsp) which contains within an iframe another jsp page. i set a timeout on
tomcat so that after the user's been inactive for a certain period of time he will be led to the login page when he tries to access the webpage again. the problem is, if a user clicks on a link or a button located in the jsp page within the iframe, the login page pops up inside the iframe, instead of encompassing the whole web browser window. i'd like to rectify this matter so that the latter will occur, but i cant seem to find a way to do it. i would like to do it on the
servlet side if possible, since thats where i check if the session is valid and lead the user to the login page if the session is determined to be invalid. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.
