Re: Session length??

Why don't you try something simpler? Just to make sure that
the session really expires. Also read about session-config element
in the web.xml. Maybe a problem with setMaxInactiveInterval?

It took me a hard time to find out what is going in there, i think you
maybe wasting your time trying to begug this src.Try to see if very simple
things work as expected.
