Based upon my limited experience, and having the default setting which
tomcat gives. I have observed that the sessions are invalidated every
minute, not every second. And this cycle starts when you start-up the
Tomcat Server.
It does time out, but don't expect it to be timed-out to the nearest
second. I tried to get a viable explanation on this mailing list, but
it appears no one knows how...;-(
As for displaying how long the user has left... A simple JSP+Javascript
trick should do the trip...
The JSP will getMaxInactiveInterval() + any time discrepancy with the
Tomcat Start-up time subtract whatever value for latency and send the
value to a Javascript timer and have it displayed on your client's
browser...;-)
Cheers,
John Clark
