Re: session won't timeout

[Jing Chen <ji...@yahoo.com>]

Regardless whether the user leave the browser idle or close the browser, as long 
as the user access the site from an IP that is inside of client's network, the 
seesion won't time out.  By doing the same thing from outside IP, the session 
timeout correctly.

In both cases, the access log does NOT have anything logged other than the those 
actions when user were actually accessing the site.  So I think there is no 
extra traffic being sent.  If you are talking about any other possibilities to 
reset the session time out, could you please be more specific?

Thank you!
Jing

Yes, active the access log for Tomcat and change the default pattern to 
also include %S and maybe even

"%S &quot;%{Set-Cookie}o&quot; &quot;%{Cookie}i&quot;".

That way you can easily track the sessions.
