session timeout: web.xml and setMaxInactiveInterval(int)

[Stephen Charles Huey <st...@fastmail.fm>]

My web.xml has the following:

    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
    </session-config>


However, when a user logs in, the following code in our app gets
executed:

      HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
      session.setMaxInactiveInterval(7200);


I've been fiddling with the web.xml and didn't realize that other code
was in there, and I'm wondering who trumps who.  I would assume that the
web.xml's global setting would have priority over any individual
setting, but it could easily be the other way around!  

Thanks,
Stephen
