[jboss-as7-dev] JBossWeb does incorrect async timeout behavior?

Both JBoss Web and Jetty 8.1 seem to do the same thing: If you have suspended an HTTP request using request.suspend(100) and the timeout is reached, they both seem to retry the request rather than throwing an error code. The javadoc for AsyncContext says otherwise though: In the event that an asynchronous operation has timed out, the container must run through these steps: Invoke, at their onTimeout method, all AsyncListener instances registered with the ServletRequest on which the asynchronous operation was initiated. If none of the listeners called complete() or any of the dispatch() methods, perform an error dispatch with a status code equal to HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR. If no matching error page was found, or the error page did not call complete() or any of the dispatch() methods, call complete(). -- Bill Burke JBoss, a division of Red Hat http://bill.burkecentral.com
