Is there an equivalent of php max_execution_time in Tomcat?

I have a request processing for way too long (I know!) that ends with Internal Server Error after exactly 60 seconds.

In Tomcat, is there a max_execution_time (like PHP) for aborting requests processing for too long? Allowing request processing for 90 or 120 seconds would be very helpful.

Saw https://stackoverflow.com/a/7484800/1980659 but it only says that a thread will keep running on the server even if an error is returned to the client after 60 seconds.

Solution

  • In my case it was Apache who was pulling the rug under Tomcat. Just have to edit Apache httpd.conf and add a line :

    TimeOut 180

    Where 180 is the number of seconds allowed before Apache (and Tomcat) times out on long request processing.

    See Apache Doc about TimeOut.
