Mobile first Session Timeout call back function?

Question

I'm implementing an adapter base authentication and trying the session timeout functionality in "worklight.properties"

Is there a callback function for serverSessionTimeout? I want to get go back to the login screen when this happens.

I'm only able to get a response is true in isCustomResponse meaning it will ask user to key in the login details (e.g. "credentialsRequired") again. In which I can't differentiate whether this is a first time login or session timeout.

There is no callback for it. This needs to be handled in the same place in your code where you are checking for the user credentials.

Meaning:

1. Application launches > user reaches the login screen
2. User log-ins (a request to a protected resource is made, a challenge is sent to the client, the check is for the adapter to process and verify user credentials for example, the response/reply to the check is sent to the server, the server approves, the client proceeds to display whatever is after the login screen
3. A timeout is reached, the server knows this and sends a challenge again to the client

In this same code piece, if a challenge is sent to the client, you need to ensure to change the client UI to display the login form.

Basically I don't think you need to differentiate, but rather treat them the same?
At least that's my interpretation/understanding.

I think this is what is done in the adapter-based authentication sample application. Have you checked it?
