Charles, you can use container managed security or the SecurityFilter to authenticate
users when accessing protected resources. You
can set the session time out by adding something like the following to your web.xml
file:
<session-config>
<session-timeout>60</session-timeout>
</session-config>
You can find more information on SecurityFilter here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/securityfilter/
Your servlet container documentation should let you know how to
implement container managed security.
