The form server must be aware that some form clients do not support dynamic forms. This in turn implies that form clients
may not call the correct cancel method to cancel a dynamic form. To protect the form server from memory leaks, it must
include a session timeout, and release any dynamic form session resources if no activity has been made during the
corresponding time period. If the client would perform a post-back after the timeout period, a <strong>NotFound</strong>
