if you are allowed to do it globally then you can set the session time out in

TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml as below

 <!-- ==================== Default Session Configuration ================= -->
  <!-- You can set the default session timeout (in minutes) for all newly   -->
  <!-- created sessions by modifying the value below.                       -->


<session-config>
        <session-timeout>60</session-timeout>
</session-config>

If you want to never expire a session use 0 or negative value -1    lt session-config gt       lt session-timeout gt 0 lt  session-timeout gt   lt  session-config gt    or mention 1440 it indicates 1440 minutes  24hours   60 minutes    lt session-config gt     lt session-timeout gt 1440 lt  session-timeout gt  lt  -- 24hours -- gt   lt  session-config gt    Session will be expire after 24hours

Setting session timeout through the deployment descriptor should work - it sets the default session timeout for the web app  Calling session setMaxInactiveInterval   sets the timeout for the particular session it is called on  and overrides the default   Be aware of the unit difference  too - the deployment descriptor version uses minutes  and session setMaxInactiveInterval   uses seconds     So    lt session-config gt       lt session-timeout gt 60 lt  session-timeout gt   lt  session-config gt    sets the default session timeout to 60 minutes   And  session setMaxInactiveInterval 600     sets the session timeout to 600 seconds - 10 minutes - for the specific session it s called on   This should work in Tomcat or Glassfish or any other Java web server - it s part of the spec
