session will be terminated depending upon the later updation means it depend upon the xml file and it will take 40 sec because after compiling it will update xml file into 40 sec

Though the session will expire after 40 mins it will not update the xml file after compile. The servlet will load with 30 mins session timeout from web.xml and then update the object with 40 mins.

setMaxInactiveInterval specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that you want to allow between client requests for this session.

When configuring in web.xml

<web-app>
.
.
.
<session-config>
         <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>
.
.
.
</web-app>

Here the unit is in minutes.

So, now it is 30 minutes and 40 seconds.

setMaxInactiveInterval takes precedence over the settings that is configured in web.xml

So, here 40 seconds will be considered and 30 minutes will be ignored.

**Mind it, it will not update web.xml ***

session.setMaxInactiveInterval(20*60)

Only the session on which you call the method is affected.

But if you configure in DD (i.e. web.xml) it changes all the sessions of the web-application.
