session.setMaxInactiveInterval(int)

[Milesh Bhana]

I've noticed a discrepancy with this.

session.setMaxInactiveInterval(0);

HFSJ and Enthuware mock exams say using a value of 0 will immedately invalidate a session.

JEE6 API Javadoc:
Specifies the time, in seconds, between client requests before the servlet container will invalidate this session.
An interval value of zero or less indicates that the session should never timeout.

I tried on tomcat and session stayed alive.

What gives?
