Session Timeout vs. Request Timeout

[jordanbaucke]

I have an installation of Jboss-As 7.1.1 that I'm making some long-running HTTP JAX-WS requests.

It seems that the requests are timing out (not positive, but they fail) and I wanted to make sure I had the server configured correctly.

I've found documentation that I can set my 'session timeout' via the web.xml as follows:

<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
 version="3.0">
...

 <session-config>
  <session-timeout>20</session-timeout>
 </session-config>
</web-app>

But I'm assuming that `session-timeout` is not a HTTP request timeout? Is this true? If so how do I change it?

As far as I know the session-timeout is for an idle web-session.

The timeout for JAX-WS is something totally different.

Just recently I found out how to increase the timeout for long lasting web service requests or even to disable the timeout:

public static void modifyReceiveTimeout( final Object o )
{
     Client client = ClientProxy.getClient( o );
     HTTPConduit conduit = (HTTPConduit)client.getConduit();
     HTTPClientPolicy httpClientPolicy = new HTTPClientPolicy();
     httpClientPolicy.setReceiveTimeout( 0 );
     conduit.setClient( httpClientPolicy );
}

After getting port interface use the method above to change it:

	MailServiceWSI wsi = this.getPort( new QName( "http://core.ws.fn.mbisoftware.biz/", "MailServiceWSPort" ), MailServiceWSI.class );
	Helper.modifyReceiveTimeout( wsi );

Thanks Frank,

Perhaps I'm not using a JAX-WS as I thought was the best way to describe it.

Unless there is an invocation for all the classes annotated this way that I can attach the helper you described too?

There is an @ApplicationPath defined in another class (which sets the proceeding path), perhaps I could add it here?

package rest;
import javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Application;

@ApplicationPath("/rest")
public class restapplication extends Application
{
}

My methods are defined as public classes, with @Path parameters, like so:

@Path("/mycall/")
public class BulkCreate {
  *
  * @param token
  * @param objects
  * @return
  */
 @SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked" })
 @POST
 @Path("/bulk/create")
 @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
 @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response query(@QueryParam("token") String token, Object[] object){
  ...
}
}

I don't know how one would define "this" type of call? I guess its a REST Call with RestEasy (with some query params)

I thing you need increase transaction timeout.

In Management Console:

Configuration: Subsystems    Subsystem: Transactions - Default timeout
