No, that's not correct. The session timeout you set in web.xml is the
idle session timeout. This can be set programmatically as well via
HttpSession.getMaxInactiveInterval()). (According to the spec, the
setting in the web.xml file is in minutes, the argument to
getMaxInactiveInterval() is in seconds.)
