A SSLSessionContext represents a set of
SSLSessions associated with a single entity. For example,
it could be associated with a server or client who participates in many
sessions concurrently.


Not all environments will contain session contexts.


There are SSLSessionContext parameters that affect how
sessions are stored:

    
     
  • Sessions can be set to expire after a specified
     time limit.
     
  • The number of sessions that can be stored in context
     can be limited.


A session can be retrieved based on its session id, and all session id's
in a SSLSessionContext can be listed.

Sets the timeout limit for SSLSession objects grouped
under this SSLSessionContext.


If the timeout limit is set to 't' seconds, a session exceeds the
timeout limit 't' seconds after its creation time.
When the timeout limit is exceeded for a session, the
SSLSession object is invalidated and future connections
cannot resume or rejoin the session.
A check for sessions exceeding the timeout is made immediately whenever
the timeout limit is changed for this SSLSessionContext.

Params:
  • seconds – the new session timeout limit in seconds; zero means
       there is no limit.
Throws:
See Also:
API Note:Note that the JDK Implementation uses default values for both the session cache size and timeout. See getSessionCacheSize and getSessionTimeout for more information. Applications should consider their performance requirements and override the defaults if necessary.
