You didn't mention which Tomcat version you are using, so I'm going to
assume 4.x.
You need to add (between <servlet-mapping>s and <mime-mappings>s):
<session-config>
<session-timout>${minutes}</session-timeout>
</session-config>
to conf/web.xml (where, of course, ${minutes} is replaced with the numerical
value of the number of minutes you want :). This will change the time-out
server-wide unless any web-app has a similar declaration.
Of course, this will work with all released versions of Tomcat (>= 3.2.x) if
you include it in your own web-app's web.xml file.
