A session may be invalidate as same as the user doesn't close the browser. The session cans expire later a time (the session timeout).

Assunto: Help : Session Life Cycle in Servlet and SessionTimeOut parameter
Hi,
I wanted to know how the Session Tracking works in Servlets.
My question is:
1. Does session exists as long as browser is open and goes away when
browser is closed. i.e. If I get a Session using
HttpSession session = req.getSession(true);
and String ID = session.getId();
The Session with ID will exist as long as browser is open and I can keep
any info in Session Object for use in other servlets which get invoked
from HTML later.
2. What does SessionTimeOut parameter do?
Does it invlidates the session when browser is closed or user doesn't send any
request after specified time?
I just want to make sure whether a Session is invalidated after SessionTimeOut period even if
your browser is open and you doing something or not.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Ashok
