[jira] [Commented] (FELIX-2687) Make HTTP session timeout configurable

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2687?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13122559#comment-13122559 ] 

Rob Walker commented on FELIX-2687:
-----------------------------------

Looks like others are having this issue so maybe we should make the patch official if appropriate, or add a full config property.

Email below from the users@users@felix.apache.org

I am having a problem in my application that too many sessions are remaining open instead of closing after turning inactive when using the Jetty HttpService. This eventually leads to the application grounding to a halt after ~2.8 million sessions are made. I have manually set the maxInactiveInterval on one of the HttpServletRequests REST endpoints to a short period and have verified that if I create 10,000 requests the sessions are disposed of properly. Fixing it this manual way seems like a bad solution considering there is at least 200 places where requests are handled and this number will increase over time creating a risk of forgetting to set the default timeout value.

Based upon this former email on the mailing list (http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@felix.apache.org/msg19839.html) and the lack of the configuration property in the documentation (http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-http-service.html) I assume there is no way to set this value in a configuration file similar to web.xml? Is there a way that I can from a HttpServletRequest get access to the SessionManager or some other object that will enable me to set a default timeout value for all sessions? I also don't see a way to do this by grabbing the HttpService during a bundle activation through the context.

Thanks!

> Hi all,
>   ThX very much for the really smooth http service packaging ;-)
>   According to the docs and to my code review there is no possibility to configure the HTTP session timeout in felix' HTTP service bundle.
>   It would be very much appreciated, if such a possiblity might be introduced in a future version of HTTP service.
>    TIA and best regards,
>     Wolfgang Glas
