Variable session timout

We are facing a problem with session timeout. As per requirement we need to have different timeout values for different pages. i.e. to say 40 min for page A and 45 min for page B. Is there any way this configuration can be done. We are using Weblogic9/Java5/Struts1.1.

If you feel this is not the right forum for the question, please let me know.

Thanks!

Bshar,

We're glad you dropped by the Java Ranch. There aren't many rules here, but we do ask that you let us know who you are by giving us your actual first and last names. Please make sure the "publicly displayed name" in your profile meets the JavaRanch naming policy.

You can change it at runtime but changing one page will affect them all.
There is only one session object per session.

Thanks, Ben.

I looked into your solution. It works fine

Is it possible to achieve this functionality through some configuration i.e. by putting into an xml file or something so that it can be changed by support team as well. I would not like the jars to be recompiled everytime I make such a change. Any ssuggestions?

Thank you!

Bshar,

Our naming policy is not optional.

The session timeout settings in the deployment descriptor are for all pages, not for page A or B. You'll have to make your own configuration file if needed.

Dear Ben,
I respect JavaRanch's naming policy and have edited my profile accordingly. I do not know why the chages are not reflecting in my posts!

Try HttpSession.getMaxInactiveInterval()

Thanks for your inputs. I am using HttpSession.getMaxInactiveInterval() now. Any further suggestions are welcome.

It gets updated the next time someone writes to it.

If you want a per-page timeout, you will have to do it with some other mechanism besides the session -- probably JavaScript timers on the various pages.
