I understand that the session timeout is for finding out an idle app and ending that particular session.
I have commented the session-timeout tag in the web.xml. Also I have not set any session timeout in my application anywhere else like maxInactiveInterval().

    <session-timeout>0</session-timeout>
</session-config>

    should result in no timeout at all -> infinite
