How to resolve Session Timeout

The cause of this problem is that ZK cannot find the desktop from its session. Why? ZK desktop was stored in the session of pluto instead of ZK webapp because pluto pass its session to ZK webapp while doing cross-context in Tomcat. This breaks the spec of servlet. So far, there is no good solution. But here is a workaround that ZK stores desktop in application scope instead of session scope to avoid the problem. Please add the following lines in your zk.xml

<system-config> 
	<cache-provider-class>org.zkoss.zk.ui.impl.GlobalDesktopCacheProvider</cache-provider-class> 
</system-config>
