I am using cookies and I already successfully dumped the session ID in the cookie.
I am using the servlet engine JRUN v2.3.3 together with the server Apache/1.3.9.
Concerning the JSDK I am not sure what JRUN uses. Anyway the API documentation is from
JSDK2.0:
public void setMaxInactiveInterval(int interval)
>
> Specifies the time, in seconds, between client requests before the
> servlet container will invalidate this session. A
> negative time indicates the session should never timeout.
> Parameters:
> interval - An integer specifying the number of seconds
I don't have problems with the session creation: it's running for
a few seconds (when using interval=3600). The problem is the
MaxInactiveInterval.
I set it now to 3600000: perhaps it must be in milliseconds?
Then it keeps running.
