Customizing web.xml for session timeouts

You can customize the session timeout value in your web.xml file.

The default session timeout value is 6000 seconds set from the SessionTimeout value in the YFS_USER table. To set a different session timeout, configure the following two parameters in your web.xml file:
  • Set a context parameter to allow the timeout value.
    Note: If this value is not set, the session timeout parameter is ignored.
  • Set session timeout parameter as the numeric value.
To customize the session timeouts:
  1. Edit your EARFILE/WARFILE/WEB-INF/web.xml file to add the context parameter scui-suppress-user-level-sessiontimeout-override. Set the value to true:
    <context-param>
       <param-name>scui-suppress-user-level-sessiontimeout-override</param-name>
       <param-value>true</param-value>
    </context-param>
    
    This allows the session timeout to be set from the timeout value.
  2. Add an entry to web.xml to set the session timeout configuration parameter, in minutes:
    <session-config> 
    <session-timeout><timeout_value_in_minutes></session-timeout> 
    </session-config>
