Tomcat's session and memory management

[Cameron]

Hello

Would anyone know how to adjust the length of time/period tomcat's
session is active? Is there a way to force session to clear when
someone closes their browser?

Another question is how does one increase the memory available for
tomcat (V4.1.31) in a windows environment running as a service.

Thank you.

Hi,

In web.xml you can define session time. Like,

<session-config>
<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>
here 30 is in minutes...

when you close window at that time just write
session.invalidate();

No, as you cannot know reliably that the browser has been closed due to
features of HTTP. An oft-repeated recommendation is to use a frame or
IFRAME in your application with a rapid META REFRESH (say once every
couple of minutes). If you don't see these refreshes for a few minutes,
you can time out the session.
