Question
Is there any way to change the timeout value for IBM Content Navigator?
Answer
For WebSphere users, change the timeout setting for IBM Content Navigator, you have to perform the following steps in WebSphere admin console.
- Servers > Server Type > WebSphere Application Servers > <icn app server name>
- Click Container Settings > Session management > Set timeout.
- Enter the timeout value in minutes.
- Click OK.
- Click Save.
- Restart WebSphere Application Server
For Weblogic users, you have a couple of options to change the timeout setting for IBM Content Navigator.
1. You can edit the File web.xml:
Edit the session-timeout of the session-config in the file web.xml. In web.xml, the session timeout is set in
minutes.
<session-config>
<session-timeout>60</session-timeout>
</session-config>
Edit the session-timeout of the session-config in the file web.xml. In web.xml, the session timeout is set in
minutes.
<session-config>
<session-timeout>60</session-timeout>
</session-config>
2. You can edit the File weblogic.xml:
Edit the session-param TimeoutSecs in the file weblogic.xml. In weblogic.xml, the session timeout is set in seconds.
<session-descriptor>
<session-param>
<param-name>TimeoutSecs</param-name>
<param-value>3600</param-value>
</session-param>
</session-descriptor>
Edit the session-param TimeoutSecs in the file weblogic.xml. In weblogic.xml, the session timeout is set in seconds.
<session-descriptor>
<session-param>
<param-name>TimeoutSecs</param-name>
<param-value>3600</param-value>
</session-param>
</session-descriptor>
The timeout value set in web.xml takes precedence over weblogic.xml. If you don't set any values in web.xml,
weblogic.xml takes over. A good approach to handle session timeout is setting this value on web.xml itself since web.xml
takes precedence over application server’s deployment descriptors
