Hi Chris,
with patch [1] merged recently, default REST API session timeout is explicitly set to 180
minutes.
First, please check <session-config> in:
* $OVIRT_HOME/backend/manager/modules/restapi/webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
* $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments/engine.ear/restapi.war/WEB-INF/web.xml
(Both should contain <session-timeout> set to 180.)
When making REST API request, make sure not to accidentally close the session:
* set "JSESSIONID" cookie for "/api" path
* set "Prefer:persistent-auth" header --> without this, REST API session will
perform logout after processing request
If you still experience timeouts:
* make REST API request that includes "Session-TTL:30" --> enforce timeout 30
minutes
Let me know how it goes.

Great job on the dialog support, Vojtech! It's working very well for me.
I am having an issue with the REST session ID that I haven't been able to nail down.
It seems to be timing out rather quickly. Somewhere between 15 and 30 seconds if I
don't use it explicitly. I've seen the code that is scheduled to run every minute
to keep it alive, but it looks like the timeout is happening so quickly that the heartbeat
can't keep it alive. Any idea on why this would be happening?

Subject: [Engine-devel] UI Plugin API improvements
Hi guys,
I've just merged some UI Plugin patches that improve existing API functions,
as well as add some new API functions. Please read on to learn what's new.
Modal dialog API
================
Function improved: showDialog
New signature:
showDialog(title, dialogToken, contentUrl, width, height [, options])
Example usage:
showDialog('My Dialog', 'my-dialog',
'http://www.foobar.com/', '800px',
'600px', {
// Default value = empty array (no buttons)
buttons: [
{
label: 'Do stuff',
onClick: function() {
alert('Bump!');
}
}
],
// Default value = false
resizeEnabled: true,
// Default value = true
closeIconVisible: true,
// Default value = true
closeOnEscKey: true
});
Notable changes:
* modal dialogs now look & feel the same as standard WebAdmin dialogs
* width & height are strings containing CSS units
* the reason why buttons default to empty array is to give plugin authors the
choice to provide custom buttons (or similar input elements) via dialog
content (iframe), and use HTML5 window.postMessage to call the plugin
(coming soon!)

New function: setDialogContentUrl
New signature:
setDialogContentUrl(dialogToken, contentUrl)
Example usage:
setDialogContentUrl('my-dialog', 'http://www.example.com/')
--
New function: closeDialog
New signature:
closeDialog(dialogToken)
Example usage:
closeDialog('my-dialog')
Tab API
=======
Functions improved: addMainTab & addSubTab
New signatures:
addMainTab(label, historyToken, contentUrl [, options])
addSubTab(entityTypeName, label, historyToken, contentUrl [, options])
Example usage:
// Tab is left-aligned by default
addMainTab('Foo Tab', 'foo-tab', 'http://www.foo.com/');
// Tab is right-aligned via options object
addSubTab('VirtualMachine', 'Bar Tab', 'bar-tab',
'http://www.bar.com/', {
alignRight: true
});
