Dubuisson, Jr. Sent: Wednesday, 18 December, 2002 12:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: session timeout setting 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 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
