In this tutorials, I am going to show how to set/change Tomcat session timeout in Spring boot application.

Spring Boot Tomcat session timeout :

We should be able to set the server.session.timeout in application.properties or application.yml file.

server.session.timeout = 5000 // Session timeout in seconds

Most of the cases the above configuration will work, If not you should set the cookie max age along with session time out like below.

server.session.cookie.max-age=5000
server.session.timeout=5000

Reference :

Spring boot config

Happy Learning 🙂
