Hi, This came up on the xdoclet-devel mailing list. The xdoclet implementation takes follows the dtd saying that a session expires if the session-timeout is =< 0, while the spec says it will never expire if session-timeout is -1, Tomcat says it will not expire if session-timeout is < 0. Now xdoclet sets it to 0 by default while Tomcat defaults it to -1 meaning that Tomcat session expire in under 30 seconds if the web.xml is created with xdoclet (or is manually set to 0).
