Table C–138 session-properties Properties


Property	Default	Description
`timeoutSeconds`	`1800`	Specifies the default maximum inactive interval (in seconds) for all sessions created in this web module. If set to `0` or less, sessions in this web module never expire. If a `session-timeout` element is specified in the `web.xml` file, the `session-timeout` value overrides any `timeoutSeconds` value. If neither `session-timeout` nor `timeoutSeconds` is specified, the `timeoutSeconds` default is used. Note that the `session-timeout` element in `web.xml` is specified in minutes, not seconds.
`enableCookies`	`true`	Uses cookies for session tracking if set to `true`.
`enableURLRewriting`	`true`	Enables URL rewriting. This provides session tracking via URL rewriting when the browser does not accept cookies. You must also use an `encodeURL` or `encodeRedirectURL` call in the servlet or JSP.
