Hi,
I'm running the bundled version of JBoss-2.4.4 Tomcat-4.0.1. I'm trying to set the session timeout to 1 minute for testing purposes and am not able to.
I do know that there is an element here:
JBoss-2.4.4_Tomcat-4.0.1\catalina\conf\web.xml
I have tried to change it and it has no effect. I presume this is overriden somewhere with the bundled version.
So I then tried it in the web.xml of my web application with this:
<session-config>
<session-timeout>1</session-timeout>
</session-config>
This also has no effect. The timeout occurs after 30 minutes.
The only way I got this to work is by changing it in my Serlvet such as:
protected Boolean validateSession(HttpServletRequest request) {
Boolean validSession = new Boolean("true");
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
session.setMaxInactiveInterval(30);
if (session.isNew()) {
validSession = new Boolean("false");
}
return validSession;
}
So I don't want to change this in my code. This can lead to potential headaches by implementing this accidently in production!!!
Can anyone fill me on the story?
TIA,
Glenn.
