I only use a session variable,  Tomcat does the cookie work, and I only check if the user variable exist in the session.

After the time of inactivity, Tomcat closes the session and the user must revalidate.

I dont know if is the same that you do.

Will this keep it from generating a new session ID every 60 mins?  Thanks
for the quick response.

You can put this in your code:

session.setMaxInactiveInterval(time); // time in seconds

I have a site written in JSP that uses session info to validate user's
sessions.  I want to change the default timeout of the session from 60
      
mins
  
but I'm not sure what is controlling this or how/where to change it.
      
Here
  
is more info to help figure this out...if anyone has any ideas I would
greatly appreciate it.

My initial JSP page has a login which, when validated, sets a cookie that
stores the session ID.  Every page thereafter, upon initial load, checks
      
the
  
current session ID against this cookie and if they don't match, the user
      
is
  
directed to re-login.  My users want a longer timeout but I'm not sure
      
where
  
to control this (maybe this question is for the Tomcat list....I just
      
don't
  
know).

Thanks,
Kenny
