Edit session timeout

Hello!
 
How to edit session timeout? Tomcat's default value is 30mins...
30 minutes of inactivity then a session will expire... In my apps,
i think 30minutes is too long.. i want 5 minutes of inactivity before
session expires... 
 
is it in server.xml? i only see connectionTimeout which is 20000?
is connectionTimeout the same with sessionTimeout?
 
Thanks and regards,
Aris

Look in web.xml instead of server.xml. You can change it for the entire 
container, or on a per-webapp basis, depending on which web.xml you edit. 
(Works for Tomcat 4.1, I haven't moved to 5 yet...)
