Session Timeout(session.setMaxInactiveInterval) is not working in Google Appengine

Question

I tried to set the Session timeout for particular users using session.setMaxInactiveInterval(30*60) 30 minutes . But by default it's assigned to 86400 seconds (24 hrs).

Also tried in Web.xml

<session-config>
  <session-timeout>30</session-timeout> // Session timeout assigned for all the users
</session-config>

Answer 1

It looks HttpSession.setMaxInactiveInterval() is not honoured by the AppEngine platform anymore (it worked in the past).

You can however still specify session timeout in the web.xml:

<session-config>
    <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>  <!-- 30 min --> 
</session-config>
