R – Firefox session timeout immediately

firefoxjspsession-timeout

I have a the following in my header.html:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="<%= session.getMaxInactiveInterval() %>; URL=/nmt/extranet/asp/error.jsp" />

and the following in my web.xml

  <session-config>
<session-timeout>60</session-timeout>

After an hour the session times out and redirects me to the error.jsp in IE and Opera but in Firefox it redirects me immediately. Does anyone know why this may be occurring or is there something wrong with the ?

Thanks in advance.

Is this just with one firefox install, or have you tried various other machines? Are you sure Firefox is passing the session cookies around correctly? Try the Live Http Headers firefox plugin to see what's going back and forth.

Css – Targeting only Firefox with CSS

OK, I've found it. This is probably the cleanest and easiest solution out there and does not rely on JavaScript being turned on.

@-moz-document url-prefix() {
  h1 {
    color: red;
  }
}

<h1>This should be red in FF</h1>

It's based on yet another Mozilla specific CSS extension. There's a whole list for these CSS extensions right here: Mozilla CSS Extensions.

JBoss Session Timeout

JBoss 5 allows you to define a session timeout for all applications at:

deployers/jbossweb.deployer/web.xml

It may be that is overriding your settings in web.xml. It shouldn't, but, you know...

Check if changing that is working. If not, you can set up the timeout programatically for your test:

HttpSession.setMaxInactiveInterval(int seconds)

That way you can force the timeout in a particular session.
