Session timeout - How to set for an application?

[Alamu Vinai]

How can I set the session time out value for the entire application? I know how to do for a single session. But how to do for all sessions in any application? Should I modify the xml file?

The application-wide setting can be controlled in the deployement descriptor file: web.xml
<session-config>
<session-timeout>
30
</session-timeout>
</session-config>
Remember, there is usually a default web.xml and then one that applies to your application ...which can override the default settings.
Note: there is also a ServletConfig method for changing this setting dynamically.

Thanks for the reply. Now I understand how to set session timeout for all sessions.
