title: session-timeout in JSF
body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <pre><code>            FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
              HttpSession session = (HttpSession) context.getExternalContext().getSession(true);
              session.setAttribute("userdet",user);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I use servlet I use the following codes but is it applicable to JSF also?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;web-app ...&gt;
      &lt;session-config&gt;
          &lt;session-timeout&gt;20&lt;/session-timeout&gt;
      &lt;/session-config&gt;
  &lt;/web-app&gt;
  </code></pre>
