httpsession setMaxInactiveInterval question

Just a simple question....

If I set the http session to be never timeout with using

ses = req.getSession();

ses.setMaxInactiveInterval(-1);

If the user close it web browser without logout my web application, that http session will be alive forever ? and does it cause any problem regarding the server resources?

Thanks

As far i can think and as per my understanding of session handling, I can say that weather you close the browser or not is not the issue, the inactivity interval is the issue.

What i mean is even if you dont close the browser and if the session is inactive for more than the session time-out period, the session expires. if you close the browser, the session is killed instantanously.

ckeck and let me know if this is not correct.
