Session timeout: session alive indefinitely
Hi,
I want that a session will be closed automatically if the user don't makes any activities for a while. To do that i have add to the web.xml two line (session timeout of 1 minute is only for testing, I will set this later to a higher value)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">
...
<context-param>
<description>Close session if there are no user activities (after [session-timeout] minutes)</description>
<param-name>closeIdleSessions</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
...
<session-config>
<!-- adjust the session timeout (in minutes) -->
<session-timeout>1</session-timeout>
</session-config>
...
</web-app
After creating a new session and waiting for more as ten minutes the session is still open and wasn't invalidated... Is there something missing?
Thanks,
Steffen
