When our application forces to terminate a user session explicitly, 
 then session listener logs print as follows:

12:16:37,812  INFO [http-8080-24] Log1:9 - SessionCounter | 
sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se) | Start
12:16:37,812  INFO [http-8080-24] Log1:9 - SessionCounter | 
sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se) |

But when a user session terminates automatically, then session listerner logs 
print as follows:

12:20:26,921  INFO [ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[Catalina]]] 
Log1:9 - SessionCounter | sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se) | Start
12:20:26,921  INFO [ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[Catalina]]] 
Log1:9 - SessionCounter | sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se) | 


From the log statements, 
[ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[Catalina]]]  I am considering that 
this is the conainer forced session termination. Now about your second point of 
resetting the session timeout, I have rechechcked the application code but there 
isn't any code implemented to reset the session timeout at runtime.


Regards,
David

What makes you think it's a background Tomcat thread (not process) doing the 
call?

Most likely, it's your code that is either explicitly destroying the session or 
resetting the timeout value.
