[Building Sakai] Session Timeout Problem

[Eli Cochran]

We've seen the behavior here at Berkeley. I wrote up a number of JIRAs about it. I have a few fixes and I apologize for not porting them forward to the Sakai code base (they're sitting in the Berkeley repo right now.)

http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17106

Let me look over my fixes and see if they are ready for primetime.
