This is not accurate. Sessions don't just "die" out, as you suggest,
something must be done to "kill" them. And that is either an explicit
call to invalidate(), or a timeout. In newer versions of the servlet
API, one can control the timeout period, so you could keep them alive
for an extended period (perhaps even indefinitely, I don't know the
specifics -- check the API/spec). Of course, whether this is a good
idea depends on the situation, and should be evaluated.
