Lisa
I implemented a timeout feature with profiles and was getting a sniped sessions that also wouldn't go away. They unfortunately weren't getting cleaned up because of two reasons, the way oracle cleans it up, and how my developers wrote the Java pooling code. In my case I was using MTS, but I don't think besides the number of processes, there should be any difference in how it works. Basically, from what Oracle Support told me, the session needs to be accessed from the system that had a timeout in order for the session to be cleaned up. I balked at that solution, and trashed the whole profile configuration. So much for a good idea.. implemented in a bad way.
