The setSessionTimeout(int seconds) method of default SSLSessionContext
interface implementation sets negative timeout if parameter is a huge
value such as Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Example:

------------------TimeoutTest.java----------------
import javax.net.ssl.*;

public class TimeoutTest {
    public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception {
        SSLContext sslc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSLv3", "SunJSSE");
        SSLSessionContext cnt = sslc.getServerSessionContext();
        cnt.setSessionTimeout(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
        System.out.println("Expected seconds: " + Integer.MAX_VALUE +
           ", got seconds: " + cnt.getSessionTimeout());
    }
}
-------------------OUTPUT--------------------
Expected seconds: 2147483647, got seconds: -1
