Put the last_access_time in the session and compare at the very beginning of the request if a timeout happened. If so revalidate the session and on success set a new last_access_time. If no timeout happened, set a new last_access_time. Boris	[reply]

Nothing jumps out in the API docs but one could always store a "createdat" timestamp in the object and check the age before using it.	[reply]
