Session timeout problem in tomcat
Hi All,
I need the sessiontimeout for 5 hours. I already set in by
webapps/myapp/web.xml file as
<session-config> <session-timeout>300</session-timeout> </session-config>
in tomcathome/conf/web.xml i can find the below config
<session-config> <session-timeout>30</session-timeout> </session-config>
Eventhough i have set session timeout of 300 minutes ,session is expiring
after 30 mins(the default sessiontimeout for tomcat)
Please, let me know how i could achieve 5 hours for my sessiontimeout. I'll
will be thankful to them who responds me quickly as this is too urgent.
is the session-timeout value which we set is the inactive interval time in
minutes??
Regards,
Thangavel Sankaranarayanan

I have noticed that tomcat does not honor the session timeout of your
webapp. It does, however, honor the timeout in tomcathome/conf/web.xml. I
have seen this behaviour in Tomcat 6.0.16. I am not sure if newer versions
honor the settings of the webapp's web.xml.

Did you really put your web.xml file in that location? If so, it will be ignored; the proper place is:
webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
(and case matters).

Seems to work for me on 6.0.18; I configured a sample webapp with the following:
<session-config>
<session-timeout>480</session-timeout>
</session-config>
and /manager/sessions?path=/sample shows the following:
OK - Session information for application at context path /sample
Default maximum session inactive interval 480 minutes
<8 minutes:1 sessions
Further experimentation by setting the default to 3 minutes and the one for /sample to 10 showed sessions expiring exactly at the desired times. LambdaProbe (if you can find a copy) is very useful for session monitoring.

If it's so urgent, then perhaps you need to pay someone...
Telling us the version of Tomcat you're using wouldn't hurt, either.
