session expiry

[Paul Wallace <pw...@intelematics.com.au>]

Hello All,

    A simple one? I have my session defined in a servlet thus:

 

 

HttpSession session = req.getSession();

session.setAttribute("userSession", h); // (h = HashMap)

 

how or where do define session parameters such as expiry? I would
ideally like my session to die when I call a specified method e.g 

 

close() {

 

      // kill my session here

 

} 

or failing that, how do I define a length of time for the session life?

 

Thanks

 

Paul.

See the servlet specification from java.sun.com.

In particular, session expiration can be set in web.xml.

sessions can also be expired programmatically via its invalidate() method.

Please followup with tomcat-user if you have more questions. This forum is 
for changing the internals of tomcat.
