For security reasons, you may want a user to time out in a short time.
If they leave a window open to a bank statememnt, say, you want the time
out to invalidate the session so that another person cannot come back
and continue the session without authentication. For this, the web.xml
change is the only way to go. Refreshes will mean never ending sessions.

Of course, you may be perfectly happy with never ending sessions.
