Thanks Rob.  I'll keep this investigation open.  It's really annoying
me.

Are there any other services involved (JDBC, etc.) that are referenced
by or in the session, or where the sessions are dependent? Just
wondering why TC threads are invalidating the session...

Another option to test is add a line of code in your login process
(whatever establishes the HttpSession object) and manually set the
timeout with the
HttpSession.setMaxInactiveInterval() method.  I believe this method
overrides any descriptor settings.

Of course, having said all of that, your descriptors should work as you
have specified.  Perhaps the "multiple applications" or other service
timeout descriptors are influencing the session timeouts...I've seen
stranger things happen...you might find this link useful as a test of
your TC session timeout setup...

Hi all.  I have a server with multiple applications running under Tomcat
5.5

In <TOMCAT_HOME>/conf/web.xml <session-timeout> is set to 30

In <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/web.xml <session-timeout> is set
to
-1 (infinite)

Users are being timed out of their sessions after 30 minutes as opposed
to never being timed out.  

Can anyone assist with this?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
