You don't need to worry about determining whether user sessions have
timed out and should be invalidated and purged. The web container takes
care of this. It assigns a container thread to every deployed web
application, which periodically (using a configurable time interval)
enumerates all of the application's active sessions and determines which
ones have exceeded their maxInactiveInterval and therefore should be
removed.
