How can I set session timeout so that it never expires?

Question

How can I set session timeout so that it never expires? It\'s for a Java EE web application.

Answer 1

Specify a negative time.

<session-config>
    <session-timeout>-1</session-timeout>
</session-config>

The benefit is however questionable. The webapp will leak memory away on long term. Think twice before you do this.
