session-timeout in JSF
java, jsf, jsf-2, session-timeout
Solution
Yes. Session timeout for JSF applications is set in web.xml too.
In fact JSF makes use of Java Servlets to handle http requests and responses.
Problem
I use the following codes to create a session object in JSF. The problem is that after sometime when I am trying to access userdet object it is giving me exception possibly because of session timeout. Is there anyway to increase the session timeout in JSF. ``` FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); HttpSession session = (HttpSession) context.getExternalContext().getSession(true); session.setAttribute("userdet",user); ``` When I use servlet I use the following codes but is it applicable to JSF also? ``` <web-app ...> <session-config> <session-timeout>20</session-timeout> </session-config> </web-app> ```
