HttpSession

[Justin Rundle]

Just need some clarification and can't find anything rock solid in HFSJ. More so my question is related to setting the timeout interval for a session, what is the following result:

session.setMaxInactiveInterval(0) = ...
session.setMaxInactiveInterval(-1) = ...
<session-timeout>0</session-timeout> = ...
<session-timeout>-1</session-timeout> = ...

I under it that either 0 or -1 for either setMaxInactiveInterval and <session-timeout> will cause the session to never invalidate. Is that correct for both?

session.setMaxInactiveInterval(0) =session is never valid
session.setMaxInactiveInterval(-1) = session is never expired
<session-timeout>0</session-timeout> =session is never expired
<session-timeout>-1</session-timeout> = session is never expired

so if session.setMaxInactiveInterval(0) expires the session then is this equivalent to invoking session.invalidate()?

[Santosh Raveendran]

yes Justin you are correct

Awesome thanks for your help, yet another inconsistency to remember
