Orion context broker global instance token

Question

I want to publish some data on the Orion context broker global instance and I have requested a token as referred at Quick start guide. When I continue coding (java client) next day I got:

Exception in thread "main" com.sun.jersey.api.client.ClientHandlerException: java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server

... 6 more

So I requested a new token and worked again.

A token generated that way has an expiration time? How much?

Do I have a way to get a non expiring token?

According with OpenStack Keystone default configuration, tokens expires after 1 hour:

http://docs.openstack.org/juno/config-reference/content/section_keystone.conf.html

# Amount of time a token should remain valid (in seconds).
# (integer value)
#expiration=3600

You can renew it by getting another one:

http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/identity/v3/index.html?expanded=#token-authentication-with-unscoped-authorization

POST /v3/auth/tokens HTTP/1.1
Host: test.ttcloud.net:5001
Content-Type: application/json
X-Auth-Token: {{user-token}}
{
 "auth": {
    "identity": {
        "methods": [
            "token"
        ],
        "token": {
            "id": "{{user-token}}"
        }
    }
 }
}
