I've asked this twice already and have yet to receive an answer. Someone
running Tomcat 4.0 must know the answer to my question. I must get this
resolved since the security requirements of my application require the
user's session to automatically time out after 5 minutes of inactivity...
How do I set the session time out for a context in Tomcat 4.0. The session
time out is defaulting to 18000 seconds (5 hours?). I have tried adding the
following to both my context's WEB-INF/web.xml file and the
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml file but both are ignored.
<session-config>
<session-timeout>300</session-timeout>
</session-config>
How do I go about setting the time out to 5 minutes?
Thanks,
