I've noticed a similar problem with our application that I have not yet
had time to track down. Sessions seem to last a very short time before
they expire (sometimes just a few minutes) despite the fact that we
don't have <session-config> elements in our web.xml and Tomcat's web.xml
file specifies a timeout of 30 minutes.
