Session timeout: what is the default for Struts apps?
Hello all.
My Struts' app's web.xml file doesn't have a session timeout declared in
it. What I'd like to know is:
(1) Since there _is_ most definitely a session timeout occuring, there
must be a default value. What is it and where is it set if not the
web.xml file?
(2) Can I declare my own session timeout value by setting the session
timeout in web.xml?
(3) Does a timeout value of -1 disable session expiration?
Nice 'n' easy.
Thanks.

Your container probably has a default timeout for sessions. I'm using
Tomcat and it has the default timeout in TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml
Tomcat uses all the settings in that file as defaults. It overrides the
defaults with the app's web.xml for each app.
I don't know if you can disable timeout (I supose you should) but putting
a very high value in timeout should get the same effect.

Do you know how to 'turn off' session timeouts?

Booyah,
To declare the session timeout place this in your web.xml file after the
servlet mappings.
<session-config>
<session-timeout>
30
</session-timeout>
</session-config>
I'm not sure about the -1 value.
