Java Servlet Session Timeout Configuration Example

Date: 2018-01-02

This tutorial demonstrates configuring session timeout in a Java Servlet web application. Session timeout can be set globally in web.xml (in minutes) or individually for each session using setMaxInactiveInterval() (in seconds). The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to creating a Maven project in Eclipse, implementing a servlet to manage session timeout, and deploying it to Tomcat. The example shows setting a 20-second timeout, resulting in a timeout message after inactivity. Both global and individual session timeout configurations are explained.
