Thanks for your feedback, Paul! I think I have sorted it out. At least I have not had the usual error emails for almost 5 hours now.
I should mention that I did NOT set Max and Default session timeouts to same value, but just made sure that Max timeout was less than session-timeout value in web.xml file. Still seems to have worked...
