FIM - How do you change the timeout settings for WebLogic Sessions.
WebLogic is keeping the session created by FIM open for 1 hour.
Resolution
This is a Weblogic configuration setting.  Change the value of the session-timeout value in the web.xml file.
Notes

See the following WebLogic document

http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs60/programming/weblogic_xml.html

TimeoutSecs

3600

Sets the time, in seconds, that WebLogic Server waits before timing out a session, where x is the number of seconds between a session's activity.

Minimum value is 1, default is 3600, and maximum value is integer MAX_VALUE.

On busy sites, you can tune your application by adjusting the timeout of sessions. While you want to give a browser client every opportunity to finish a session, you do not want to tie up the server needlessly if the user has left the site or otherwise abandoned the session.

This parameter can be overridden by the session-timeout element (defined in minutes) in web.xml. For more information, see session-config Element
