Question
We are using sessions in our CQ5 application and we would like to reconfigure the Quickstart server's (aka CQSE or CQ Servlet Engine) default session timeout.
Answer, Resolution
The default session-timeout for the CQSE can be configured in the /crx-quickstart/server/etc/web.xml
as follows:
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>JSPServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>classpath</param-name>
<param-value>lib/common/servlet-api-2.4.jar;lib/common/jsp-api-2.0.jar</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>JSPServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<session-config><session-timeout>1</session-timeout></session-config>
</web-app>
The value in the session-timeout element is in "minutes".

CQ All Versions, CRX All Versions
