Session Timeout parameter.

[Shanky Sohar]

Hi All,

As we know there are three simple ways to set timeout.

1)WEB.XML(Application's).

2)WEB.XML(tomcat's in conf folder).

Format :
<session-config>
<session-timeout>3</session-timeout>
</session-config>

3)Is in Particular session Object

request.getSession().setMaxInactiveInterval(60*10);


I am confused which one will take more precedence at the time when application run,if i set timeout for a session in

Application web.xml to 30 Min
and tomcat web.xml to 60 min

and in session Object to 10 min.

After how much time session will get timeout

Thanks
Shanky

Any session timeout set in Server's web.xml is overriden by timeout set in Application's web.xml.
And session timeout set in Application's web.xml is overridden by timeout set in Servlet code.

So, session timeout shall be 10 minutes

Happy learning
