Session timeout problems

[Victor Kirk <Vi...@serco.com>]

Hi,

I'm having problems with sessions timing out almost instantly.
When I log in I get the page I requested, but if I then follow
a link from that page I have to log in again.  Sometimes the
browser doesn't even manage to get the stylesheet.  However
if I access the site from the machine that tomcat is installed
on it works fine.

I'm using tomcat 4.0.4 on windows 2000 professional (service
pack 2), with jsee 1.4.1_01.  Also installed is Oracle 9.2
which is used for authentication.

The web-app installation is just a copy of the software from
our development machine, a similar installation worked fine.

My server.xml contains:

  <Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
             port="8888" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
             enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
             acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="600000"/>

and my web.xml for the application contains:

  <session-config>
    <session-timeout>600000</session-timeout>
  </session-config>

I've tried various timeouts, including ridiculously high values,
0 and negative values.  Anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

Regards,

Vic
