Change the vCenter 5 web client timeout.

I have seen this question listed many times here in the VMware communities, but it was never answered. 

Is there a way to change the session timeout for the vCenter 5 web client?

Modification of session-timeout value is not implemented in vSphere 5.0.As of now the default value is 30 min.May be we will have this feature in next version (vSphere 5.1)

It's tomcat so you would modify the web.xml file and increase the session timeout setting. I have tested this and it does work, although I HIGHLY doubt it is supported by VMware.

\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\conf\web.xml

<session-config>
        <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
    </session-config>
