Spring and session timeout on JBoss

Question

I want to setup session timeout to 15 minutes. I set server.session.timeout to 900 and it works when I run the app in the provided Tomcat. However, when I deploy the application on the JBoss session timeout doesn't occur after 15 minutes. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

In spring boot server.session.timeout is in minutes not seconds.

In your web.xml , number is in minutes.

<web-app ...>
    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>20</session-timeout>
    </session-config>
</web-app>

Answer 2

If you are using Spring Boot, you can add the below property to your WEB-INF/application.properties (if you don't have one, create it under WEB-INF folder):

server.session.timeout=900

For more details on application.properties , you can refer the below link:
