Hi,

I just tried the above example in the default webpages's web.xml file
and it appears to work;however, this is from a tomcat cvs a couple
of days ago. The default session time out appears to be constant 
from any other xml configuration file -- that is if I take out the
session timeout from my web.xml the session timeout remains 
constant irrespective of what the setting is on other xml files.
 I will try to dig up a little bit more to see if I can spot the problem .

	Cheers
