See Coty's reply for the -1.

About setting it to more than 30, there are a number of ways that
<session-timeout> could be overridden. You can do it in code, and I
think there are other ways to configure it and I can't remember the
precedence rules.

Can you confirm that the web.xml you are editing is the one actually
being used by Tomcat? Lots of people end up using Eclipse or whatever
that doesn't always do what you expect. Or you forget to copy the
changes into the deployment directory, WAR file, etc.
