Session expiry times?
- by user246114
Hi,
I've enabled sessions on my app:
// appengine-web.xml
<sessions-enabled>true</sessions-enabled>
they seem to work when I load different pages under my domain. If I close the browser however, looks like the session is terminated. Restarting the browser shows the last session is no longer available.
That could be fine, just wondering if this is documented anywhere, so I can rely on this fact?
I tried the following just to test if we can tweak it:
// in web.xml
<session-config>
<session-timeout>10</session-timeout>
</session-config>
also
// in my servlet
getThreadLocalRequest().getSession().setMaxInactiveInterval(60 * 5);
but same behavior, session data is no longer available after browser restart.
I looked at the stats for my project and I see data being used for something like "_ah_SESSION" objects. Are those the sessions from above? If so, shouldn't they be cleaned since they're no longer valid? (Hopefully gae takes care of that automatically?)
Thanks
