How does Jboss Timeout works?

How does timeout in jboss works? How does a web-app knows when to re-direct to a login page?

Just to clarify! -I know how to configure timeout on jboss. My question is, how does Jboss know that a session has timed out and when it does, how do you configure it to send the request to login page once the timeout has happened?

The HttpSession timeout in JBoss can be set at three different levels:

  • #1 To change default timeout value for every web application:

Edit the Web Deployer's default wed application configuration: in the web.xml 

<session-config>
   <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>
  • #2 To override the default HttpSession timeout on a per-webapp basis:

Add the same tags as above to WEB-INF/web.xml. Here is the DTD for further explanation:

<!--
The session-config element defines the session parameters for
this web application.

Used in: web-app
-->
<!ELEMENT session-config (session-timeout?)>

From https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/HttpSessionTimeout

The session-timeout element defines the default session timeout interval for all sessions created in this web application. The specified timeout must be expressed in a whole number of minutes. If the timeout is 0 or less, the container ensures the default behaviour of sessions is never to time out. Used in: session-config

<!ELEMENT session-timeout (#PCDATA)>

  • #3 To override the global and web app value for a single client,

call 

HttpSession.setMaxInactiveInterval(int seconds)

You can configure a time out on an all deployable units like .war files in web.xml

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