title: Keep a session alive for an indefinite amount of time
body: <p>Is there a way to keep a page's session active without resorting to sending the state to the client?  I'm not able to set the <code>STATE_SAVING_METHOD</code> to <code>client</code> and I'd prefer to not use the <code>a4j:keepalive</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried using a simple hidden iframe that submits to the Bean in question but it invalidates the main page.</p>
  
  <p>I am using JSF 1.2 and myfaces.</p>
  
  <p>This is to get around a ViewExpiredException on a page that does not require the user to log in.  The majority of the existing site requires the user to log in.</p>
