Hi all,

I have made the following configuration in web.xml file but it is not invalidating the session. Or session is not timed out as after 5 minutes if I refresh the page.

<session-config>
<session-timeout>5</session-timeout>
</session-config>

please help.

Also what I want that after session is timed out I want to redirect to login page if possible. Is there any way to do this .........

But How to do this ?


Thanks

write session.jsp

<% session.getsession(false);
if(session==null)
response.sendRedirect("\login.jsp");
%>

Add this JSP in all your jsp pages by writing following
<%@include page="session.jsp"%>

So next time if u refresh your jsp after 5 minutes and if your session has expired it will automatically redirect you to login.jsp

Kartik,
Did you mean request.getSession(false)?

I'm still waiting for the original poster to let me know how he knows that the session isn't invalidating.

Thought I will add one more way to invalidate session.

We can set MaxInactiveInterval in HttpSession object using the method setMaxInactiveInterval.

Having said that, I am wondering what is the best way to do this?

Please share if anyone knows what's the difference?
Following are some assumptions I made. Correct me if I am wrong.
1. HttpSession.setMaxInactiveInterval overrides the entry in web.xml
2. web.xml is configurable???

Yes you are correct.


2. web.xml is configurable???



You can configure session time in web.xml with



The difference is you specify session duration in minutes in web.xml whereas in setMaxInactiveInterval() you specify session duration in seconds
