Solution Notes
The following portal property has been added:

    #
    # When the property "session.timeout.auto.extend" is set to true, set the
    # number of seconds between when the extend process is launched and the
    # actual expiration of the session.
    #
    session.timeout.auto.extend.offset=0

---

Steps to reproduce it:

1. Set the following properties in your portal-ext.properties file:

   session.timeout=2
   session.timeout.auto.extend=true
   session.timeout.warning=0
   

2. Set the session timeout in the web.xml file:

   	<session-config>
   		<session-timeout>2</session-timeout>
   	</session-config>
   

3. Start the server
4. Log in
5. Wait 2 minutes and click on any link

Results: The session is expired
Expected results: The session is not expired because it was extended automatically.
