[Stuart Douglas (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3811?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12669344#comment-12669344 ] 

Stuart Douglas commented on AS7-3811:
-------------------------------------

I agree with Jaikiran, I don't think a timeout by default would be a good option. 

If an end user really does need a timeout for a particular method they have the option of using async methods anyway.

> IMHO a client must support a timeout. Very often when things go wrong the clients get stuck indefinitely.
> Maybe this problem go even deeper, something on the server failed but didnt reply to the client. This is often encoutered during failover undeploy test (50 of 200 clients got stuck :-) ).
