Is there a way to force a user session timeout in Websphere?

I need to do some testing to the session timeout logic and how timeouts are handled, but I don't want to have to wait for the session to time out. Right now it takes 30 minutes of inactivity to time out, is there a way to either change this to a much lower timeframe or, even better, force the timeout whenever I want?

You can invalidate the HTTP Session, which is very similar to what occurs during a timeout, by calling HTTPSession#invalidate. You could do this trivially with a JSP.

HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
if (session != null) { 
    session.invalidate();
}

You can also adjust the timeouts at the application level in the WAS console:

All Applications > $yourapp > Session management
