What is the timeout period for the web session??

tbauer Dec 9, 2002 9:18 PM

I see that the server places a cookie called JSESSION(?) to track my session id...

What is the default life of the session, and can I change it somewhere??

thanks so much,

tb

default life will depend on which servlet container you are using. Generally it seems to be about 15mins. You can change this in your web.xml via something like

<session-config>
<session-timeout>45</session-timeout>
</session-config>

Just above your welcome file list and below servlet mappings. (note this is 45 mins)
