I have some JSP pages where I do session tracking.But I don't know how to change the lifetime for session. I have heard that on Tomcat server the lifetime is about 30 minutes. So can I change that by changing web.xml or server.xml inside tomcat? Thanx for your reply.

Thanks again and we hope to see you around the ranch!!

For your question, I think the setMaxInactiveInterval method of the HttpSession class will do what you want.
