I checked my $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml file and it currently has the setting set to 30 mins. This says to me that this setting is not getting used. I changed it to 120 and verified that 60 mins was still the default. Any idea of why my web.xml is not getting used? I do not have an application specific web.xml...the one in the conf directory is the only one I have. > Plus, check out the PersistentSessionManager, which can be used to get > really long session timeouts by swapping idle sessions out to disk. I read about this in the Tomcat docs but I'm not quite sure how to implement this. Is there a simple howto on this that you know of?
