JRuby Rails3 application session timeout running in Tomcat

Question

If you have a session timeout in rails using the :expire_after in session_store.rb

AppRails3::Application.config.session_store :cookie_store, 
   key: '_App_Rails3_session', 
   :expire_after => 20.minutes

and in Tomcat you set session-timeout in the web.xml.

Which one will be used? Both?

The first part will expire the cookie session store.

The tomcat one will take care of the java servlet session store.

So, the answer is both.

I'm testing it now in Tomcat, and it seems to me that the session-timeout from the web.xml is ignored. – Lieven Cardoen May 02 '12 at 09:48
And indeed, both are used. In my case, the one having least number of minutes will force re-login. – Lieven Cardoen May 02 '12 at 10:03
