Server errors are never reported with AJAX Viewer

Description

Whenever a server error prevents the AJAX viewer from updating, there is no feedback indicating that a problem occurred. The map just stops working. This can be really confusing.

Most significantly, whenever a session expires, the viewer should report that fact to the user.

Also, the viewer API should have a hook for error handling, including the ability to override the default error handler. One example use for this feature might be some custom code for "rebooting" a session, or better display of error message.

This problem may extend to the DWF viewer as well.

jcarranz, thanks for taking the time to enter this. Bruce, do you have any comments on how we might address some of these problems?

I would suggest that this would be important to fix, but that it should be done in the Fusion framework. Possibly as an ErrorConsole? widget?
