Hi, Conversations are stored in the session (indirectly). So when the http session times out, the conversations automatically go too. The timeout mentioned here is just in case you want conversations to time out more quickly than the http session.
Until recently this shorter timeout was hard-wired to 30 minutes. It is now configurable via the scope declaration in the spring file. And as Mario mentions, if you don't specify a timeout there the default is now *no* timeout (ie timeout only when session goes). I hope that's what you were asking about.. Kito, you might like to look at the new documentation added to the website recently (esp. in core). It's still a work in progress but any feedback on what's there so far would be very welcome..
