Seam configuring session timeout, never to expire

Hi,

I have a requirement, to change session timeout so that it never expires.

Please suggest what will be the best setting...

a) components.xml : How can I make sure that session never expires
<core:manager concurrent-request-timeout="500"
                 conversation-timeout="120000"
                 conversation-id-parameter="cid"
                 parent-conversation-id-parameter="pid"/>


b) web.xml
I can provide timeout to 0, is it the right way....
<session-config>
       <session-timeout>0</session-timeout>
</session-config>

web.xml:

 <session-config>
      <session-timeout>-1</session-timeout>
 </session-config>

as per Servlet 2.4 spec:

The session-timeout element defines the default
session timeout interval for all sessions created
in this web application. The specified timeout
must be expressed in a whole number of minutes.
If the timeout is 0 or less, the container ensures
the default behaviour of sessions is never to time
out. If this element is not specified, the container
must set its default timeout period.

Thanks for the reply...

Yes, web.xml is fine, I was wondering if I need to change anything in components.xml
