Hi Paul, Session timeout can be configured in the deployment descriptor of your servlet (web.xml). see servlet spec 2.3 "the session-timeout element defines the default session timeout interval for all sessions created in this web application. The specified timeout must be expressed in a whole number of minutes. If the timeout is 0 or less, the container ensures the default behaviour of sessions is never to time out."
Example <session-config> <session-timeout>30</session-timeout> </session-config> Regards Karin -----Original Message----- From: Paul Wallace [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Donnerstag, 10.
