Actually, we found that this is not correct. The "Default Session Configuration" section is only definable in the /conf/web.xml. We tried putting it into the /WEB_INF/web.xml and it did nothing to change the session timeout. I did not try removing the session timeout parameter, however. Anyway, at least for the session parameters, the /conf/web.xml has the final say.
