But now I've another trouble: what happens if someone do not complete the order and close connection? I need to set a timeout after which webcatalog cancel the suspend order. I.e, I'm managing a DB in which some products have inventory=1. Anytime someone order one of this product, Webcatalog add it in a cart and baffle the order. So if a user do not want to bye product in the cart and do not remove it but simply close connection, WebCat do not permit to another user to order it.What can I do for the resolution of this problem?
