Specifying HTTP Session Timeout 

Use

You can specify a timeout period for HTTP sessions created in your Web application. If the session is inactive for this timeout period, it is invalidated by the Web container.

If you do not specify such a timeout explicitly, a default one of 30 minutes is assumed.

You can configure the HTTP session timeout using the web.xml descriptor.

Procedure

On the web.xml screen, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      Open the General screen.

       2.      To specify the timeout period, enter a value in the Session configuration – Session timeout field.

The value is specified in minutes. If you enter a negative value in this field, HTTP sessions are never terminated because of a timeout. Instead, only an explicit logout by the user will terminate the corresponding session.
