[FIXED] Application property "server.servlet.session.timeout" is not working in Spring Boot project

Issue

According to the documentation of Spring Boot, session timeout can be configured by setting

server.servlet.session.timeout= 300s

in application.properties file. In href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40974955/spring-boot-java-config-set-session-timeout">this post and in Spring Boot documentation it is also said so. But unfortunately this is not working for me.

Is there any other configuration to get expected result?

Solution

I am posting answer because this scenario is new for me. And I haven't got proper solution step by step. According to the suggestion of M. Deinum I created a web.xml file under WEB-INF folder. Project structure is like

src
 |_ main
     |_ java
     |_ resources
     |_ webapp
         |_ WEB-INF
              |_ web.xml

And in web.xml I configured <session-timeout>...</session-timeout>

My web.xml is like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
         id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">


    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>5</session-timeout>
    </session-config>

</web-app>

And now session time of my webapp in server is working according to my configuration. Thanks goes to M. Deinum
