Tomcat session timeout

Tomcat session timeout is defined into the CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml file by the following directive:

<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
    </session-config>
</web-app>

You can however override the default session timeout by setting in your application's WEB-INF/web.xml file the session timeout as well.

The number in session-timeout tag is in minutes. To make it unlimited or no time out, simply set the number to -1 and restart your Tomcat Service.

<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>-1</session-timeout>
    </session-config>
</web-app>

Tomcat maxThreads configuration

Tomcat maxThreads represents the maximum number of request processing threads to be created by the HTTPConnector. < Connector port= " 8443 " protocol= " org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol " maxThreads= " 250 " SSLEnabled= " true " scheme= " https " secure= " true " clientAuth= " false " sslProtocol= " TLS " connectiontimeout= " 20000 " /> This determines the maximum number of simultaneous requests that can be handled. If not specified, this attribute is set to the default value of 200. How the process works: At server startup, the HTTP Connector will create a number of processing threads based on the value configured for the minSpareThreads attribute. Each incoming request requires a thread for the duration of that request. If the number of simultaneous requests cannot be handled by the currently available request processing threads, additio

Tomcat Websocket example

A WebSocket is a full-duplex communication mechanism that allows both textual and binary messages to be sent between clients and servers, without the HTTP request/response life cycle. WebSockets allow either the client or the server to send a message at any time, providing an asynchronous solution for working with data while the user is performing a task. Websockets API are included in Tomcat 7 Web server distribution so you don't have to download any extra library: In this tutorial we will show how to create a WebSocket example using Apache Tomcat and Eclipse. Start by creating on Eclipse a new Dynamic project named websocket-example : We will now create a server side class named WebSocketDemo that is going to echo messages from a Javascript client: package com . sample ; import java . io . IOException ; import java . nio . ByteBuffer ; import javax . websocket . OnMessage ; import javax . websocket . Session ; import javax . websocket . server . ServerEndp

Tomcat session listener example

As part of Servlet 2.3 specification, we can now make use of session creation and destruction events. Our listener object will be called every time a session is created or destroyed by the server. You can use two interfaces as listener for your Session: HttpSessionListener triggers the listener when a new session is created or destroyed HttpSessionBindingListener triggers the listener when an Object is bound/unbound from the Session HttpSessionListener example: package com.sample; import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener; import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionEvent; public class SessionCounter implements HttpSessionListener { private static int activeSessions = 0; public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent se) { activeSessions++; } public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se) { if(activeSessions > 0) activeSessions--; } public static int getActiveSessions() { return activeSessions; } } As you can see, all you have to do is implementing two meth
