Getting the following error message:

HTTP Status 408 - The time allowed for the login process has been exceeded. If you wish to continue you must either click back twice and re-click the link you requested or close and re-open your browser

Apache Tomcat/5.0.28

After some degree of investigation, I found that it happens in the following scenario:

1 - Browser loads login page
2 - Restart server
3 - After server settles down, use the existing login page (from step 1) - type in user credentials and submit

Based on observation, the jsessionid sent back on step 1 -- is already invalid by step 3 -- and is thus sending the http 408 error.

I tried simulating it by manually connecting to port 80 and sending an invalid jsessionid -- and indeed I get the error. On the other hand, if I send a valid jsessionid (one that was just generated) -- it works.

Is this some kind of configuration error?

That is the expected behavior. The form login has to complete within a reasonable time for the session to be valid.

That is the expected behavior. The form login has to complete within a reasonable time for the session to be valid.

This time can be configured?
I have the same problem using Tomcat and JAAS, if I submit a valid username and password I get a HTTP Status 408!
I think this error is from another aspect, because I don't take 10sec to make a login, and I receive HTTP Status 408 all the time!

humm..

Do you have an Apache Server connecting through AJP to JBoss?
I had a 408 yesterday, it was because of a misconfigured setting using AJP.
