Hi,
I just downloaded the JSDK 2.1, and I couldn't find it. I did see that the
interface HttpSession has two new methods: setMaxInactiveInterval and
getMaxInactiveInterval. But this is a server-side timeout, correct? Is there
another place where Sessions would expose the timeout in the cookies?
I tried using the set.. method above to get the server to set an expiration date
in the cookie, but is has no effect. Here's a trace of the HTTP when creating a
new session:
10 Client: GET /servlet/Shux HTTP/1.0
10 Not Sent: Connection: Keep-Alive
10 Client: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.5 [en] (WinNT; I)
10 Client: Host: pc-klopstock:9999
10 Client: Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg,
image/png, */*
10 Client: Accept-Encoding: gzip
10 Client: Accept-Language: en
10 Client: Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8
10 Client:
10 Server: HTTP/1.0 200
10 Server: Server: Tomcat/2.1 Alpha
10 Server: Content-Type: text/html
10 Server: Set-Cookie2:

10 Server: Set-Cookie: TOMCATID=TO14369833900268303MC1012AT;Path=/
10 Server:
10 Server: (Transmitting 234 bytes)
--- I used the following code:
HttpSession session = req.getSession(true);
String id = (String) session.getValue("shuxsession.id");
doc.appendToBody("The session was...");
if (id == null) {
doc.appendToBody( "<b>not found.</b>" );
id = "THE ID IS: " + new Date();
session.putValue("shuxsession.id", id);
// 100 days
session.setMaxInactiveInterval( 100 * 24 * 60 * 60 );
}
Thanks for any input,
Robb
