Hi Randie,
I think this is a behavior that you might expect with most
servlet-containers.
The session-timeout for most servlet-containers is normally managed by
some clean-up thread. This is invoked after every few minutes to remove
any session objects that have expired.
So the time-out of your session should be not exactly
"session-timeout-value",
but : "session-timeout-value + cleanup+interval".
Hope this explains your observation.
Regards,
Ritesh

Subject: Re: session timeout question
hi guys,
i tried to investigate this behavior to find out what went wrong and
i've come up with
this information...when i open 2 browsers with difference of less
than 1 minute on each
opening there session will both expire at the same time.
while if i open 2 browser with difference of more that a minute on
each opening the
behavior seems fine...the first browser will timeout first then the
second will follow
depending on the time the second browser was invoke which should be
more than 1 minute.
by the way i'm using Tomcat 4.0 and jdk1.3.1
is this the behavior of Tomcat?..or part of its specification?
could someone enlighten me on this.
thanks a lot. =)
