this should not be the case <session-timeout> should be the inactivity timeout what version of tomcat? Filip ----- Original Message ----- From: "G.

I just found out that sessions on my webapp are automatically being logged out after some period of time. Even when they are being used. >From reading the docs, it appears that the normal timeout behavior is to terminate any session that has lived longer than n minutes. Is this correct? Also there appears to be a <session-timeout/> element that allows you to set the length of this timeout. However, if I am reading the documentation correctly, the only way to set an "inactivity timeout" is programmatically? (I actually thought the "session-timeout" was an "inactivity timeout".<shrug/>) How is the best way to go about adding this feature? Is the HttpSessionListener interface the best way to go? Thanks, G.
