ADF application randomly refreshes using Active Event

Question

we have a strange bug using the ActiveDataModel classes and events:
we have a landing page where we initiate the connection to the database and everything works fine on this front.
The problem occurs whern we change page; after about 5 seconds, we see the weblogic connection status turn red (which when hovering over with the mouse tells me it is 'Reconnecting' )and the page gets refreshed.
The connection status icon we are using is this:
+<af:statusIndicator id="pageLoadingIndicator"/>+
we get a new _afrLoop id also.
We are thinking the browser is refreshing because it loses the connection to the ActiveDataEvent but we are unsure how to 'gracefully' unregister it so we dont get random refreshes throughout the remaining application pages.
Is there a best practice method of doing this?
Regards
Jason

Answer 1

furthermore,
from our investigations, if we comment out the following line, we do not experience the refreshing issues:
context.addActiveModelInfo(this, keyPath, "activemessage");
of course, this stops the Active data service running to our main landing page
