[jetty-user] session timeout

Using Jetty 6, embedding Jetty, we have code such as:

                                                Server server = new Server();
                                                mWebApplicationContext = new WebAppContext();
                                                mWebApplicationContext.setContextPath("/" + CONTEXT_PATH);
                                                mWebApplicationContext.setWar(MOBILE_WEB_APP_FILE);
                                                // Testing session timeout >>>
                                                SessionHandler sh = mWebApplicationContext.getSessionHandler();
                                                SessionManager sm = sh.getSessionManager();
                                                mLogger.debug("Setting max-timeout");
                                                System.out.println("Setting setMaxInactiveInterval(300)");
                                                sm.setMaxInactiveInterval(300);
                                                // <<< Testing session timeout
                                                server.addHandler(mWebApplicationContext);

We added the "test session timeout" bits recently. The problem we have is that this is not taking effect and sessions time out after 30 minutes (we have real user use-cases where this is a problem), so we are trying to remove the timeout. In the above we are setting a 5 minute timeout to check this change takes effect, then we can increase the timeout.

When a request comes in, we do:
                public void doGet(HttpServletRequest aRequest, HttpServletResponse aResponse)
                                                throws ServletException, IOException
                {
                                System.out.println("session timeout:" + aRequest.getSession().getMaxInactiveInterval());


This always shows a max idle of 30 minutes.

Am I doing the correct configuration logic in my code? Is it possible to change (make infinite) the session timeout?
