Joe,

Timeout value is configured in "persist add uie" command in seconds.

E.g. when you add a persistence record to the table you define how long it should live there.

In your case for example for a 10-minute (600 second) timeout : 

persist add uie [HTTP::cookie value "JSESSIONID"] 600

Re: persistence not working - make sure you have OneConnect profile enabled on the virtual server. Without it the load-balancing decision is made upon the TCP connection (e.g. way BEFORE any cookies can be read).

Here is the KnowledgeBase article for your reference:

Hope this helps,

Sam
