Method and apparatus for session management in an enterprise java bean session bean

A method and apparatus to provide a general-purpose timeout management system for client-specific session objects. In one embodiment a timeout service is created that may be used by more than one Java Enterprise EJB container simultaneously, avoiding unnecessary duplication of timeout management services.
