Hi Deepak By the time sessionCreated is called in an HttpSessionListener, the session has already been created. I am sure if you try to get the HttpSession from the HttpSessionEvent object, it will have what you defined in <session-timeout> tag.
But the code is overriding the timeout using setMaxInactiveInterval to 1 hour that is why it is looking like web.xml is not being given precedence over programmatic session configuration. Whether web.xml takes precedence over annotation does not apply in this case because anyway the session timeout value is being overridden by the code. The tomcat container definitely reads session-timeout from web.xml and assigns timeout for the session accordingly. But since a listener is configured for session lifecycle management, it invokes the method and there the session value is being overridden. Try to set 2 minutes session timeout in web.xml and remove session.setMaxInactiveInterval(60*60). I would say you will be logged out after 2 minutes. If that is not the case, pl let me know. I hope I understood your question and problem correctly.
