What is the default session timeout for web applications deployed on Tomcat5.5? Is it browser specific? In my web application, default timeout is mentioned neither in web.xml nor in code.

The number in session-timeout tag is in minutes. To make it unlimited or no time out in Tomcat, simply set the number to -1 and restart your Tomcat.
Specifies the number of minutes that a session can remain idle before the server terminates it automatically. The default is 10 minutes.
Session timeout determines how long the server maintains a session if a user does not explicitly invalidate the session. The default value is 30 minutes.
Open $CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml and find this:
<!-- ==================== 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>30</session-timeout> </session-config> All webapps implicitly inherit from this default web descriptor. You can override these default settings via your webapp's own web.xml file.
This is actually from my Tomcat 7 (Windows) but I think Tomcat 5.5's configuration is not very different
