Is it possible for a Tomcat session keep the session alive for a certain period of time (say, 2 hours),
The session timeout interval is adjustable, see <session-config> under conf/web.xml Max inactive interval can also be specified in HttpSession object, with setMaxInactiveInterval(int interval) Additionally HttpSessionListener captures the event when the session is about to be invalidated -- according to JavaEE 5 API.
but remove all objects within it after a default period of time (like half an hour)? This way the user doesn't have to re-login as per your usual session timeout but their session state doesn't eat up Tomcat memory.
I would consider setting a Cookie instead of storing login info in HttpSession in this case. One drawback with sessions is that, a session will not work if the web page gets cached by the browser. So, in order to keep the session alive, it is also important to prevent the caching of a page. -Regards Rashmi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
