Hello

I am in the process of setting up a web service between an android app and
Tomcat 6.0.26 implemented with Jersey. I already have client and server
communicating with each other by sending XML requests. But I would like the
user of the client to be authenticated by the server for a set period of
time and then have to re-authenticate after that time has expired.

Can anyone suggest anything?

It may be better to ask this on the Jersey user's list.
I would imagine that Jersey provides a way to force the client to be authenticated. This would work via a session, and there is probably a way to set the session timeout. After the last interaction + the timeout, the session will expire, and this should automatically force the client to re-authenticate at the next access.
