Having variable session timeouts

[Siddhartha Purkayastha <kp...@gmail.com>]

Hello All -

How is it possible to implement variable session timeouts?
My use case is: for a set of users with certain properties (which in turn
will be stored in the session, say x = 10), I want to have a time out of 30
mins. For others (say with property x = 15), I want to have a timeout of 1
hr.

Is it possible to achieve such a configuration?

Thanks,
Siddhartha

That sounds like a good start.

Yes: the session that you call this on will have the inactive timeout
that you specify in the method call.

Looks like this should solve my problem -
HttpSession.setMaxInactiveInterval() ?

Are there any implications of using this method?
