OAuth and "permanent" tokens?

Is it possible to create a permanent (non-expiring) Oauth token for an automated app to access Composer?

Also, is it possible for non-Java languages (VB.Net, C#, etc.) to manipulate Composer's jsp based login page?

I have an app that needs to run on a scheduled basis. The app was initially written in VB.Net, but because the oauth tokens expire daily, I would have to create and authenticate the oauth tokens manually every day, which isn't practical. (Composer's Oauth implementation doesn't seem to send back a refresh token, either.)

So I switched from VB.Net to Java and borrowed from the composer workshop examples which can authenticate oauth tokens via programmatic manipulation of Composer's jsp login page.

Did I miss non-expiring tokens somewhere? And am I stuck using Java when writing future applications?

Never mind. Finally figured out how to get form based authentication working in VB.net, and I now have the OAuth authentication process automated without user input.
