<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Hi,</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Am using Jboss AS 5.1.0 GA. I have JSF 1.2 servlet running on it. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I have a Customised session listener which extends PortalSessionListener (am running Liferay 6.0)</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>In web.xml, I have configured session-timeout to be 3 minutes. When I hit my JSF servlet, and dont do any thing for 3 mins, then my customised session listener gets invoked and sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent httpSessionEvent) is called.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Before 3rd minute if I carry out some activity on my servlet then the session gets extended. Then I wont do anything. This time if I watch the logs, my customised session listener is getting called at around 2nd minute instead of 3rd minute and its invalidating the session by calling sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent httpSessionEvent).</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><strong>My first question is why is that session invalidation not happening at the right time</strong> in the scenario described above?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Also, I have configured a session-timeout in web.xml of my Servlet. Am using httpServletRequest.isRequestedSessionIdValid() method to check if the session is valid or not. In the above scenario</p><p>when session got invalidated at around 2nd minute, this time after the session invalidation log got printed, if I click on any page on my Servlet it still finds that session is not invalidated yet.</p><p>But, its finding the session got invalidated only exactly after 3rd minute. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><strong>My second question is why is this difference between session-timeout configured in Jboss AS web.xml and the one configured in Servlet's web.xml?</strong></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Regards,</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Vikas</p></div>
