Hi Prabhu,

You can set the session timeout manually using the session.setMaxInactiveInterval(<seconds>);

For more info, check the below link.

You can define the session time out in your applications web.xml in the following tag

<web-app>
......
<session-config>
      <session-timeout>30</session-timeout> 
</session-config>
    

</web-app>

The value for the session-timeout tag is in minutes. The above declaration will make your session time-out to 30 minutes.


If you want to maintain the session time-out in the code itself you can do so this way

  session.setMaxInactiveInterval(36000);
  

The value

36000

provided int he above piece of code is in seconds

you can also set the above value to

-1

so that session never expires

hi,

you can increase session time-out in 2 way,

1.Use setMaxInactiveInterval(int interval) method of the HttpSession.

2.Use web.xml, <session-timeout>20</session-timeout> Tag


setMaxInactiveInterval() takes in seconds.

web.xml effects whole web application (takes in mintutes).
