The session timeout is how long a server should wait for user activity before expiring their session.
In-work development stories exist suggesting moving session timeout out of the database and into a configuration file (assumed to mean applicationConfiguration.default.properties): http://mifos.org/developers/wiki/MifosConfigurationProjectStories ( also http://tinyurl.com/ysol5u ) http://mifos.org/knowledge/functional-specs/configuration-options#3_4_Miscellaneous ( also http://tinyurl.com/3db5ve ) Yes, the value has been moved out of the database and into a configuration file, but: * there is no functionality in place to utilize this value as defined in applicationConfiguration.default.properties * I don't have an estimate on how long it would take to utilize this value as defined in applicationConfiguration.default.properties * session timeout is currently (and normally) defined in the Mifos deployment descriptor (web.xml), and this is the value actually used by servlet containers Emily and I discussed removing session timeout from the configuration file and referring those who wish to modify session timeout to change web.xml directly. She said this would be fine for now. Unless anyone has any further suggestions, I'll provide a patch to remove the extraneous definition of SessionTimeout from the configuration file (and usages from unit tests (the only usages)). -- Adam Monsen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
