This is the method the OP is already using, and it does not appear to work. The OP tried session.setMaxInactiveInterval(-1), which is documented to turn off session timeouts altogether (but I wouldn't recommend). > Caveats: You will need to reset the inactive interval back to > five minutes when the request has completed processing or > this value will be used for the rest of that user's session.

This was already pointed out (by me, in fact). Sometimes, you can trick the browser into keeping the connection open by sending data back little by little. For instance, I think you might be able to keep the connection open by sending HTML comments like "<!-- still processing request -->" every so often. I've never tried it, but it might work. The best strategy for long-running requests is to have the background-processing occur in a separate thread and have the user's browser make regular requests to see if processing is complete. This solves the session timeout problem (just have the browser re-request the "update" page every 60 seconds or so and the session won't time out) and the browser timeout problem (since you aren't waiting for 10 minutes for data to come back). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFwMuW9CaO5/Lv0PARAhl9AJ9EEufJSPgpeJFTkqpaLvG39ji2wgCfTUSZ Hv/wBucIRiZ+rZ00GpvGJ+k= =iGi9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
