30 minutes is the default session timeout, yes. But your first question to the original poster, i.e. the definition of 'never', is a very good question. Remember that the JVM heap size grows monotonically. For example, if you need 50MB at some point and the JVM can allocate that, it will. Then sessions timeout and you only need 30MB, so the JVM will garbage collect. You will end up with 30MB allocated and 20MB free: the total will never go above the previous max (50MB) for the lifetime of the JVM.
