By the way, as I remember from the time I worked with Weblogic, which is up to version 10, you need to restart the application, I say the application not the server, when ever you change the timeout in the web.xml for that app.
In Weblogic there is another file weblogic.xml where you can set the session timeout. The difference is that this timeout is applied to the whole container (all the applications deployed) and is overridden by the setting in the web.xml per application bases.
