Session Timeout in dcm4chee-web3

[Rüdiger]

Hi all,

does anybody know where to configure the default session timeout for the dcm4chee-web3 interface? Is there a setting in the JMX console, or do I have to edit a special .war file? I think the default timeout is 30 minutes... Any assistance would be appreciated.


Best Regards

Should be in the dcm4chee-web-war-3.0.x.war file - defined in WEB-INF/web.xml (I think 60 minutes by default)

Hm... I can't get it to work. This is what I've done so far... can anybody give me a hint?

mkdir /tmp/ear; cd /tmp/ear
unzip /usr/local/dcm4chee/server/default/deploy/dcm4chee-web-ear-3.0.3-mysql.ear

Surprisingly there is no WEB-INF/web.xml file, so I created

mkdir WEB-INF; nano WEB-INF/web.xml

with this content (120 minutes timeout):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
    version="2.4">

    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>120</session-timeout>
    </session-config>

</web-app>

I zipped to the original ear-destination and even rebooted the server:

zip -r /usr/local/dcm4chee/server/default/deploy/dcm4chee-web-ear-3.0.3-mysql.ear *
reboot

But the new timeout is not recognized, and I don't know why.

You will need to unpack the .ear then unpack dcm4chee-web-war-3.0.x.war to get at the web.xml file.

Perfect, that solved my problem. Thank you!
