Hello. I'm encountering some occurances of session attributes returning null when they were set a few minutes before. I just wanted to make sure that session duration can be set in web.xml for an app. Could I get confirmation on this, I can't really dig up anything definitive. Thank you very much for reading this.

The duration of a session can definitly be set in your web.xml if you are implementing a web application but I doubt if this is the right forum for this question; I think it should be moved to servlet session where you can get quick diagnosis and response to your question.

Thank you. I suspect timeouts are why session attributes get set to null.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://aspose.com/file-tools
