| The session-timeout element defines the default | |
| session timeout interval for all sessions created | |
| in this web application. The specified timeout | |
| must be expressed in a whole number of minutes. | |
| If the timeout is 0 or less, the container ensures | |
| the default behaviour of sessions is never to time | |
| out. If this element is not specified, the container | |
| must set its default timeout period. |
