[Building Sakai] Avoid session expiration via restful

[Charles Severance]

Francisco,

If you look at:

https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/portal/trunk/portal-charon/charon/src/webapp/scripts/neoscripts.js

You will see how the portal handles this.

Look for  poll_session_data() and keep_session_alive()

The /direct/session specifically does not reset last access because it is the way to read last access to most accurately set the timeout dialog box.

In keep_session_alive() - it just uses jQuery to do an in-browser get of the /portal URL and discards the results.  It extends the session.  It might seem heavy - but the code uses /direct/session to make sure it only happens when the timer is really expiring.
